Breathe Easy

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has shown that increasing the quality of the air across the United States has positively impacted our life spans (read about it). Improved air quality has added 5 months to the average life span in the U.S.
Areas with the cleaner air showed a consistent and more dramatic increase in life span compared to those with less improved air quality. Here is a link to the study.
Just imagine what cleaning up our water, food supply and reducing the use of toxic household chemicals and body care products could do.
