You might expect the largest economy by GDP, the US, to have the highest average life expectancy due to its wealth boosting healthcare and well-being. However, the US ranks 47th in average life expectancy, similar to China, which has about one-third of the US GDP per capita. Surprisingly, a country ranking 72nd in GDP per person has almost the same life expectancy as one ranking 8th.

Well done HK, Macao, JP SG and CH

Stay healthy my friends

Stop eating cheeseburgers! 🍔 Fatness is so bad for your health! ….Maybe Ozempic will level things out. .. I wonder what wonder drugs the AIs will come up with to keep us all thin? ..I wonder what the long term effects will be

Or you get great medical advice from your president like “drink bleach to get rid of Covid “. NEVER do this!!☠️☠️

HK also consumes the highest quantity of meat per person at around 800g a day. US is like 300 (can’t remember off the top of my head). Food for thought.

Fear Zero

The old Hong Kongers did not eat all that meat. Their longevity will drop in the next 30 years a lot I predict.

Wanna know the best thing for health……”become single”. Then you will start caring about how you look. Being back on the market does wonders for your appearance.

My guess are these are countries where the elderly are looked after by their families rather than put into care, countries where the elderly are not hidden away but play an active part in their family. The top countries mentioned would have their elderly relatives living with the family - depression and loneliness can be deadly. Just a thought alongside of course things like cultural nuance in their diet.

One more important factor is a healthy social life and trust.

If you think it’s all about diet you are missing the bigger picture.

It pains me seeing how US is doing remarkably fine job of exterminating the population en masse in lots of inventive ways. Man, the things sold in the groccery shop! Half of them could be rightfully marked as "poison". Have to admit, Europe is way better in this regard!

UK citizen here. If Crypto / Tesla don't reach the heights that I've promised my wife, I will be dead much sooner than the age shown here!

Fear Zero

Look at what the leading longevity scientists eat. It ain't carnivore. They eat a mostly plant based diet with olive oil and a tiny bit of fish once a week. Mediterranean diet. The studies support their diets. The fish is unnecessary if you just eat lots of seeds and nuts for omegas though.

Vit B12 is only in meat, diary and eggs. Deficiency in VitB12 causes anemia. Levels can be checked with a blood test.

Hilarious, mate! This comment easily describes.... well, everything! 😂

So true! I can tell you that Swiss, Norwegians, Italians move waaaay more than US or UK. Swiss basically hike & swim every weekend for dozens of miles in nature (fields, mountains, hills..everything). And they respect, take care and protect their nature!
