Editor
Brazilian world’s perceived oldest woman, Amantina dos Santos Duvirgen would on June 22, 2023, celebrate her 123rd birthday and become possibly the coldest living still living person of all time.
Amantina dos Santos Duvirgem was born on June 22, 1900
The amazing woman, also known as Dona Júlia, it was learnt, doesn’t speak, but certainly keeps herself strong thanks to her unique diet.
Her favourite foods are boiled eggs and Bolo de Polvilho, a typical Brazilian cake made with cassava flour.
The world’s ageless legend, who measures around 4ft9, lives in a house “that was completely adapted for her”, in Serra Gaias, state of Paraná.
She is cared for by Maria Edenir Lúcio, who has been with her for at least 20 years.
“She doesn’t have diabetes, headaches or high blood pressure,” Helen said.
“Dona Júlia doesn’t take medicine and she doesn’t have grey hair. And she loves wearing earrings and bracelets.”
To celebrate the milestone, civic officials in Tibagi, in Paraná, threw her an early birthday party on Sunday.
The bash was held in the hall of the Chapel of São Sebastião and celebrated the date of her birth as having some key landmarks in Brazil’s history.
