🤔 Answer to Today’s Health Question: The country with the highest life expectancy is Japan.

People in Japan have an average lifespan of 84 years.

This can be attributed to their healthy diet, active lifestyle, and advanced healthcare system.

Interestingly, Okinawa, a Japanese island, has the highest concentration of centenarians (people over 100 years old) in the world.

This shows that living a long life is not just about luck, but also about making healthy choices and prioritizing self-care.

So, it's never too late to start taking care of yourself and increase your chances of living a longer and healthier life!

😂 A tough old Texas Cowboy advised his Daughter that the secret to a long life was to sprinkle a pinch of gunpowder on her oatmeal every morning.

The Daughter did this religiously until the age of 103, when she died.

She left behind 14 children, 23 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and a 40-foot hole where the crematorium used to be.
