Study : Past smoking rates shorten US lifespan
High smoking rates in the past, combined with widespread obesity, continue to chip away at US life expectancy compared to other wealthy nations, a study released Tuesday said.
Over the past 25 years, life expectancy after 50 has risen in the United States, but at a slower rate than in countries like Japan and Australia, said the National Academy of Sciences report.
The gap sounded the alarm among government researchers because the United States spends more on health care than any other country, said the study which examined mortality records in 21 countries.
Men in the US showed an increase in life expectancy of 5.5 five years between 1980 and 2006 for an average lifespan of 75.64 years, while US women’s lifespans expanded from 77.5 to 80.7 years.
“Three to five decades ago, smoking was much more widespread in the US than in Europe or Japan, and the health consequences are still playing out in today’s mortality rates,” said the report.
“Smoking appears to be responsible for a good deal of the differences in life expectancy, especially for women.”
Cigarette smoking also appears to have dented life expectancy in Denmark and the Netherlands, the report said, noting those two nations showed “lower life expectancy trends than comparable high-income countries.”
Globally, women tended to pick up smoking later than men, and started quitting later than men, too.
In 1980, average US life expectancy for women at age 50 was 30.6 years, similar to women in nine other industrialized countries.
But in 2007, women in America gained just 2.5 years for a 33.1 year life expectancy at age 50, compared to gains of 6.4 years in Japan, 5.2 years in Italy and 3.9 years on average among the nine other rich countries.
“Similarly, life expectancy in Japan is expected to improve less rapidly than it otherwise would, because of more-recent high smoking rates,” said the study.
In a country where one in three people are overweight, obesity could also be to blame for “a fifth to a third of the shortfall in longevity in the US compared to other nations,” said the researchers.
“And if the obesity trend in the US continues, it may offset the longevity improvements expected from reductions in smoking.”
Women in Japan had the highest life expectancy — 85.98 years — just edging out France (84.39) and Italy (84.09) based on the most recent data, while men in Australia are living the longest — 79.27 years — followed by Sweden (78.92) and Canada (78.35).
Missionary Insurance is Perfect for Groups Taking Advantage of Loosened Travel Restric
As a result of changes to the United States’ longstanding policy regarding tourism to Cuba, many student and misisonary groups will likely now be planning trips to the area. If you are leading a group of students or church members that will be visiting Cuba, it is important to find affordable health care solutions. Missionary insurance provides a convenient and cost-effective way to fulfill those needs.
For years, the United Stats has expressly prohibited its citizens from visiting Communist Cuba. The ban dates back to the 70s, but now students seeking academic credit and church groups will be permitted to travel to Cuba. More airports will now offer more options for these travelers, as well.

Frustration over Potholes
It appears that car insurers are joing the fight to reduce the frustrations caused by potholes across South Africa!
Potholes are not only a safety hazard, but they also pose danger to the wheel alignment and suspension of your car that’s if the short- term danger of a flat tyre doesn’t get you first.
Many have tried to curb the problem, but there are still an increasing number of potholes in South Africa, which are growing in size and stature as fast as they are multiplying.
In the spirit of ‘less yada yada, more ching ching’ and in the interest of public safety and urban pride, Dial Direct and Trafficare, in association with the Gauteng Provincial Department of Roads and Transport (GPDRT), have joined forces in an effort to assist in the fight against potholes in Gauteng.

Health Insurance Perks for Nannies
Attracting the best possible carer for your children can be difficult. That’s why many people who employ nannies or childminders offer nanny health insurance as an incentive. Offering health insurance to your prospective nanny as a bonus means you get a wider choice of applicants from which to find the perfect match.

You may also be able to offer health insurance in lieu of a higher salary and reap some tax benefits. If you’re hiring someone from outside of the U.S. you c
Guest Post by Lea: This is your Weight-Loss Wakeup Call
Lea, one of the Embracers you may have talked with about your pet insurance policy, has been working on her dogs weight over the last few months. Here she shares her experience with you so that you might be inspired to look at your own dogs weight with fresh eyes.I know dogs pretty well. I work with them, I foster them, I’ve studied canine behavior…but I didn’t know that my own dogs were obese.
I’m not trying to guilt you if you’re already slacking on the new year’s resolution to get in shape and shed those pounds. But what better time to give you a wake-up call about your pets’ weight? Are they overweight? Obese? “More of them
