I was puttering
around on the internet this morning and I saw something that really caught my
eye. It was the latest data regarding our current life expectancy as
humans from the World Health Organization, along with a history of how that's
changed over the years.
This info went all the way back to the Neanderthal period (the guys from the Geico Insurance TV commercials) up to present day humans.
Those poor Geico guys only lived
to be 20 years old on average, while today's humans can expect about 75 years of life.
2,900 Or More Days Of Misery In Your Future?!
But did you know that today's people have an average healthy life expectancy of just 67 years? In other words, this is saying that you can expect 8 years of your life in poor health. 8 years! That's 2,900+ days of poor health. I don't know about you, but that's not something I'm looking forward to. I sure think we can do better than 67 years of good health on this planet. And you know what? We can.
