A recent study from the University of California has revealed that living further north is a direct cause of longer life. As it happens, the cells in our northern bodies are far better are heating us up - they create more heat energy with less work. This allows us to deal better with the cold and, I assume, keep our bodies in better condition hence giving us a longer lifespan. I heard it on the radio while working, so I don't have all the details on the study other than what I've just posted. But hey, there's another great reason to be a Canadian!
