We already know that lifestyle choices can help influence how long you live. But where you live may also factor into your longevity.
Consider this: in 2019, the US landed at No. 40 for life expectancy when compared to other countries, according to the World Health Organization. With America’s advanced healthcare system in mind, an average life expectancy of 78.5 years, prior to Covid-19, was pretty low.
But there are some states where residents have a better chance at living longer lives, and that may be due, in large part, to their healthy lifestyles.

The biggest mistake we make when we make the decision to finally start this diet that can make our lives a little harder, is that we lean on things that end up bringing us the opposite results. What are we trying to say? A smart tip if you want to lose excess weight in a few days is not to frantically avoid sweets and carbohydrates, but to drop small “bad” habits. The idea is not to overdo it, which can also be a strong psychological burden for us, but to follow advice that will actually bring radical changes over time.…

The historic criminal indictment against former US President Donald Trump has sparked another partisan flashpoint in an already deeply polarized nation.
Ahead of his court appearance next Tuesday, voters have been sharing with the BBC their strong felt reactions to the first prosecution of a former president.
Whatever their political affiliation, most of our voter panel agreed that the unprecedented case left the US in uncharted waters.

This is an excellent example of the politicization of the judiciary. It’s a huge mistake. Banana republic style vintage. It’s, in my opinion, totally undermining our rule of law…
In a few years, direct flights lasting 20 hours will possibly be a reality. On such occasions, we wonder how we could keep ourselves as healthy and fit as possible on a very long air journey.
The announcement by various airlines that from 2025 they will be able to offer direct flights from Australia to the US and Europe has opened a new debate about how much the human body can withstand in the air – mentally and physically.
In particular, the non-stop flights will last 20 hours and will concern the trips from Sydney to New York and London.…
Peppermint for the morning, lavender for the evening, myrrh for all hours, but sparingly. If you have low energy levels and feel lethargic, try adding essential oils to your daily routine. They have a beneficial effect on the mood, act as anxiolytics and stimulate you, even for a short period of time.
Do you feel the fatigue that overwhelms you during the day and prevents you from meeting your daily obligations? Are your energy levels down? Do you drink coffee and other tonic drinks, but they only give you energy for a short time? After you have had a checkup,…
Douglas and Pitkin counties are the healthiest in Colorado for the fifth year in a row, while people living in Otero and Bent counties have the shortest and sickest lives.
The annual health rankings compiled by the University of Wisconsin’s Population Health Institute attempt to grade counties across the country on two areas: health outcomes and the factors that influence health.

What makes a happy life? In some way, this feels like one of the most important questions a person can ask.
To look for answers, researchers from Harvard University have been following two very different groups of men for more than 80 years—268 Harvard graduates and 456 men who grew up in inner-city Boston. This is the longest-running study ever of human life. Researchers were particularly interested in the social and psychological factors that impact health and well-being later in life.
This year, the current study directors—Harvard Professor Robert Waldinger and Bryn Mawr Professor Marc Schulz—published a book,…
