Higher Education = Longer Life

Yes, for a higher educated people, their life expectancy will be longer than the non-educated groups. A recent study published by the Harvard School of Medicine has stated that people with a better education tend to have a longer live? Hmmm, I might be agree… base on some fact such as the higher educated group, tend to have a better way to choose to stay health by choosing the food combination and nutrition for their health. But let we continue our reading to their study…

They have been studying two groups; one is the high-educated group and the non-quite high educated group. Between 1980s and 2000, life expectancy increases occurred nearly exclusively among high-education group. Comparing 1981 – 1988 with 1991 – 1998, life expectancy at age 25 has grew ¼ years for high education people but as less as 0.5 years for the low group as quoted by AFP and reported by Jakarta Antara News on 11th March 2008. And its grows by 1.6 years between 1990 and 2000 and remain unchanged for the low ones.

The difference in longevity means that you would have enough time to complete more degrees of your choices.

I am a bit agree with this study since for those more educated group, they will have a knowledge on how choosing the right food for their health, making a good life by staying away from the stuff that causing diseases such as smoking, air pollution etc.

With their knowledge they know on how they can save the earth so the nature can produce more healthiness environment for them. They will have knowledge to make their life easier and healthier for them.

What I can see the children in Indonesia who has born after the war in getting the Indonesian Freedom has a better life expectancy than before. The more they get more education, the more they will life longer.

In short, if you want to have a Longer Life, please consider again to go back to School, College or University and get some degree…..

Enjoy your life while you can….
