The ten best and worst states in the US for a combination of both a long and healthy life have been revealed and California was not among the top five.
Hawaii was rated the highest overall for those seeking a healthy lifestyle and high life expectancy, followed by Minnesota, Vermont, Washington and New Hampshire.
Similarly, states with the lowest life expectancy tend to be states with the least healthy lifestyles and were mainly in the southeast. West Virginia was ranked last overall, followed by Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Kentucky.
Notably, California did not even make the top five most healthy…
Healthy life expectancy (HLE) is the number of years a person can expect to live in good health: for NI, the current estimate for HLE is around 62 years while, for Ireland, it is 69.4 years
However, Northern Ireland uses a different definition of good health, meaning direct comparisons between the two figures are ill-advised
Analysis of other HLE estimates indicates the gap between NI and ROI is nowhere near ten years
On 4 March, Irish Times columnist David McWilliams claimed:
“The average person in the Republic can expect to live a healthy life for almost a full decade longer…
“I am cancer-free! Tears of joy!”
Dina Zulueta, a wife, mother, yoga teacher, mindfulness meditation teacher, and prime mover of the Save the Trees Coalition based in Pampanga, shared her message of joy with matching happy and crying emojis on Wednesday, March 15, after receiving positive results from her positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
It marked the second time she overcame a life-threatening medical situation posed by cancer.
Dina’s first bout occurred in 2000 when she had been diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma.
Her youngest daughter was just 10 months old at the time, and her initial response was, “Hindi…
I was thinking about longevity the other day. Who doesn’t want a long, healthy life?
As I sipped my coffee at church, I was thinking about a research project we are launching at North Dakota State University. I have included the online survey link with this column.
My 90-plus-year-old church coffee buddy stopped by and joined us at our table. She usually comments on my column of the week.
She inspires me. She lives on her own, drives herself to church and is always dressed stylishly. She’s very witty too.
“How do you come up with new ideas for your…

Pretty much everyone dreams of a long, healthy retirement. Your chances of achieving it, though, vary dramatically.
If you make it to 60-years-old, in some countries like Mexico, Colombia and the United States, on average men can only expect a healthy decade — or less — in retirement. Whereas in the likes of France and Luxembourg, men can look ahead to over 18 healthy years in retirement, according to Bloomberg News calculations.
Countries everywhere, though, are battling the same dilemma. As life expectancy rose, governments started to push people to stay in the workforce longer. Yet healthy life expectancy —…
Adhering to six healthy lifestyle behaviors is linked to slower memory decline in older adults, a large, population-based study suggests.
Investigators found that a healthy diet, cognitive activity, regular physical exercise, not smoking, and abstaining from alcohol were significantly linked to slowed cognitive decline irrespective of APOE4 status.
After adjusting for health and socioeconomic factors, investigators found that each individual’s healthy behavior was associated with a slower-than-average decline in memory over a decade. A healthy diet emerged as the strongest deterrent, followed by cognitive activity and physical exercise.
“A healthy lifestyle is associated with slower memory decline, even in the…
