It seems that with all of the advance in modern science and medicine, humans have been living longer and longer. Then again, with so many negative factors like lack of nutritious foods in many diets, whether that be as a result of famine or just bad food choices, and polluted air in many countries, a lot of people don’t have the life expectancy that they should. This list is a compilation of 7 different countries across the globe that have the highest life expectancies and why!

Iceland has a fairly high life expectancy rate, at 82.3 years. This can be attributed to many things including their diet, which includes lots of fresh fish, and a great public health system. Iceland is also one of the least polluted countries in the world, so that probably helps a lot too!

People in France have a life expectancy of 81.84 years, and the main reasons for this is that the French are some of the healthiest people in the world. They eat a mainly Mediterranean diet, walk/bike everywhere, and have one of the best health care systems in the world.

1. Hong Kong

Shockingly enough, Hong Kong has the highest life expectancy rate in the world at 83.73 years. This is surprising because people in Hong Kong live in a cramped, busy society, which many would assume as being stressful. However, they eat a fairly healthy Cantonese diet, exercise very often using tai chi, and play a lot of mind games to strengthen their brain.
