#1 on the list for a stroke.......


Being a born-and-bred Southerner

The swath of stroke-prone states across the Southeastern United States - generally including North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama - have long been known as the "Stroke Belt." But recent research suggests that just being born and spending your childhood in one of these states raises your risk for stroke, even if you move away later.

In a study published in the journal Neurology in 2009, Harvard public health professor Maria Glymour and her colleagues reported that among blacks, being born in the Stroke Belt increased the risk of stroke by 22 percent. For whites, the number was 30 percent. Part of the reason may be due to risk factors like poor diet, smoking and obesity, which may start earlier in southern states, Glymour told LiveScience

 

I would rather live 70 years in the South as 150 years in the North. Just sayin.

 

True be told. It is their fault that we die early. They have brought the South nothing but grief.

 

They harshed our mellow.

 

Ain't that th truth; always in a hurry..kills a buzz too.

 

I just did a test online that said I was in the 22% for my age and weight so BITE IT SISTER! The South will rise again! (Don't tell them I was born in Jersey though, TIA)
