There's just no pleasing Americans. Even though they're living longer lives, they still can't find the time to be happy. The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study on Wednesday which said that Americans are sad because, although life expectancy has increased, they aren't living healthier lives:
None
So basically, longer lives really means longer lives with ailments, which is like slow torture:
The findings, from the most comprehensive analysis of the health of the U.S. population in more than 15 years, show progress in reducing death rates, adjusted for age, across a variety of diseases. But death rates from illnesses associated with obesity, such as diabetes and kidney disease, as well as neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease, are on the rise.
Maybe if we took care of ourselves, we'd have more to smile about over the years. But that makes entirely too much sense.
