Michigan’s Life Expectancy Ranks Towards The Bottom In The United States
I like the quote by French writer Alphonse Allais who said “Don’t take life seriously. Either way, you won’t make it out alive"

It's true, we all will die one day, but I want to have a healthy and fulfilling life as long as I can.
After reading that for the first time in a generation, Americans born today can expect to die sooner than their parents I was bummed. When it comes to Michigan things don't look too good either.
