Does where you live affect your chances at living a long and healthy life? Scientists are beginning to see evidence that yes, it does. There is an island in Greece where inhabitants are known to live well into their 90's, and Eric Weiner's Geography of Bliss explores the subject in an entertaining travel memoir. What are the key factors in health and happiness: - Healthy and fresh diet - Strong cultural identity - Plenty of time spent with friends and family.
Waking up to this every morning wouldn't hurt either. Do you find your location affects your wellbeing? Have you ever just felt connected or well in a place you were only visiting? Would you consider moving to improve your health?
