The Simple Habit That College Grads Do to Improve Their Health
Monday, October 10th, 2011TheĀ CDC’s Summary Health Statistics, 2009 is out, and it comes with some intriguing figures on the overall picture of who’s healthy — and who’s not — among adults in the United States. When it comes to how education figures in to health, it turns out that the more educated you are, the healthier you may be.
The survey, which includes data from over 27,700 U.S. adults, found that people with a college education were more physically active, and were less likely to have heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and other chronic health problems such as back pain, kidney and liver disease or migraine headaches.
The two are undoubtedly linked, as exercise is directly related to a lowered risk of many of the chronic conditions on that list. It certainly does not take a college education to exercise, or realize that you should, so no matter how much schooling you have this is one simple health habit to take note of.
