Elsewhere in the world record-breaking world, Tomiko Itooka, the former oldest person in the world, passed away in December.

She had taken the title of the oldest living person in the world back in August 2024, having made it to 116 years old.

Tomiko credited her long life to her very specific morning routine. Each morning she’d eat a banana and a yogurt-flavored Japanese dairy drink called Calpais.

Elsewhere, her family credited her active lifestyle for Tomiko’s extremely long life.

“A devout Buddhist, she completed the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage (a journey to 33 temples in the Kansai region) in her eighties,” writes Guinness World Records.

“And aged 100, she remained able to climb the stone steps of Ashiya Shrine without the aid of a walking stick.”
