Why Women Live Longer

Throughout history, women have outlived men, and that remains true today, although men have caught up in recent years. According to the CDC, a 65-year-old man has 17.6 years left to live, whereas his female counterpart has 20.3 years of life to live.
Theories abound for the disparity in life expectancy, ranging from esoteric explanations involving the influence of the Y chromosome and Darwinian principles to the more straightforward precept that men take more chances, engage in more risky behaviors, and, as a consequence, die more often of accidents and/or trauma. 
Have you ever stopped at a convenience store and watched what people buy? Women tend to buy more healthy foods like, water, fruit, protein bars...men? well try a bean burrito, pork fried skins, chil-cheese, and a soda. 
Need I say more....??? 



Unless you are Richard Simmons of course!
