Associated Press reports:
Maria Gomes Valentim attributes her longevity to eating a daily roll of bread for breakfast along with fruit — though she indulges in the occasional nip of wine.
Guinness said that Valentim, aged 114 years and 313 days, is 48 days older than the person previously considered the world’s oldest human, Besse Cooper from Monroe, Georgia.
Cooper now holds the title of the oldest living North American.
Guinness verified that Valentim was born on July 9, 1896, in Carangola in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais, where she has always lived.
