Longest-living family with combined age of 861 credits longevity to eating this meal daily

The world’s longest-lived family, the Melis siblings, with a combined age of 861 years, eat this one meal every day paired with a glass of wine.

In 2012, they were named the world’s oldest siblings in terms of combined age by the Guinness World Records committee.

The nine Melis siblings believe dining on Sardinia Minestrone helped them achieve their great ages.

The eldest sister, Consolata Melis, is 109 years old while the youngest, Mafalda, was 78 at the time.

Sardinia Minestrone is a staple in the diets of many long-lived families in Sardinia, an Italian island known for its inhabitants’ long, healthy lives.

The recipe reads: “A bountiful dish that is eaten every day for lunch by some of the world’s longest-lived families in Sardinia, Italy.

“It can be made with seasonal vegetables from the garden, but always includes beans and fregula, a toasted pebble-size semolina pasta that is popular in Sardina.”

People living in the Blue Zones eat a primarily plant-based diet and choose a lot of beans such as fava beans, black beans, soy and lentils.
