Longevity Tied to Lifestyle, Not Money and Meds
A new study, widely reported in the media, is sending a message loud and clear that modern medicine is not the reason for a longer life. In fact, those who eat in moderation, due to lower income, are likely to live longer. This is especially true in Northern states, where active farm lives lead to more physical activity and less weight gain. Lower income individuals in Southern states, eating very high fat diets and living in a region of the country known for its selenium deficiency, have the shortest lifespan.
