The STATE of Your Life Expectancy

State Of Longevity

 

I’m wrapping my mind around the ins and outs of this one, and I thought you might like a little mind wrapping on a Tuesday as well.  So I’m throwing it out to you.

Researchers have found that a lot of things influence our life expectancies - income, diet, race, whether we smoke or not, etc.  Now they’ve proven that the state in which we live - literally - affects how long we can expect to live as well. 

Personally I think it just harkens back to the income and diet factors, but I’m no scientist - unless you count cooking, writing, or shopping amongst the sciences.

Click HERE for the article, and click the Map at the top of the post for an interactive map that’ll let you know the life expectancy for your own state.  Hawaii is number 1 - for obvious reasons.  I’d have to be dragged away from there, too.
