Melis family
The Melis family, hailing from Perdasdefogu in Sardinia, is recognized as the world's longest-living family, with a combined age of over 800 years among its nine siblings. Their remarkable longevity has attracted significant interest from researchers, particularly due to their daily consumption of a nutritious minestrone soup rich in legumes and fresh vegetables, which is thought to be a key factor in their extended lifespans. Notably, their dietary habits, including a small glass of wine each day, emphasize a lifestyle that prioritizes enjoyment and healthy eating.
