Countries with longest life expectancy

10 yrs ago

How long you'll live is influenced by your diet, your exercise and your genes. It also depends on where you live. While increasing life expectancies are a great medical achievement, they put a severe strain on many nations' finances as the number of elderly rises around the world.

Life expectancy in the 10 countries shown on these slides, ranked in ascending order, are the highest in the 34 developed nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, according to the World Bank. Other data come from the United Nations, the Center for Strategic and International Studies and Bloomberg Rankings.

Lecithin enhances the absorption of coenzyme Q10 and is usually recommended to take with CoQ10

Pete,

I've known about it for a long time, but can't remember when I first heard about it.

Thanks, Abby, for that advice. Always appreciated.

I also take a low dose aspirin every day

Jaguar,

Hopefully, along with medical achievements to increase life expectancy, the "aged" will be more healthy overall, with longer participation in the work force. I know a healthy 81yr old who keeps a daily 9-5 pm schedule with a 600 km drive once a week. He is also studying to "up" his qualifications. He has experienced a few age related problems, such as cataracts and hip replacement, but once fixed, he didn't give this any more thought.

I think much has to do with mindset.

As I take high doses of fish oil, my chemist advised not to take aspirin.

just read that krill is better than fish oil for older people to take.
