The Secret to a Long Life? Singleness and Italian Food

New York woman celebrated her 107th birthday this past Wednesday.

Louise Signore spoke up at a large gathering in the Bronx. Over one hundred people seemed to have gathered. There were even reporters!

“I think the secret of 107: I never got married. I think that’s the secret. My sister says ‘I wish I never got married,’” WCBS reported.

The Italian-American added that she believed eating Italian food could be to thank for her longevity.

“Italian food is very good for you,” she said. “I was brought up with very good food. No soda, no cake.”

Despite her age, the irreverent centenarian continues to live an active lifestyle.

“If they have exercise, I do the exercise. If they have dancing, I dance. I still do a little dancing. After my lunch, I will play bingo,” Signore said of the community where she lives.

Signore has had her share of struggles. Intruders robbed her home four years ago. She continues to struggle with poor eyesight.

Friends said Signore doesn’t use a cane or wheelchair and still likes to do all of her own shopping. “She’s awesome,” friend Deborah Whitaker told WCBS.

Signore was born in Harlem and has lived in the area for all of her life.
