A SEA change is good for your
health, according to UK
researchers who have found that
people living on the English coast
are much more likely to say they
are fit and well than those who
live inland.
The journal Health and Place
published a report by researchers
from the University of Exeter, who
analysed census data from 48
million Britons.
The study found that people
living less than 1km from the
shore were more likely to say they
were in “good health” than those
further away.
The scientists postulated that
one explanation could be the
stimulating seaside environment
which encourages people into
physical activity.
However they also said it would
be possible that wealthier and
healthier people might be more
able to live by the ocean.
“They are possibly moving to
the coast and bringing their good
health with them,” said lead
researcher Dr Ben Wheeler.
THIS was truly a deathbed
confession.
A 59-year-old US man who
wrote his own obituary before he
died last week revealed a number
of long-held secrets as he cleaned
the slate.
Throat cancer sufferer Val
Patterson, who his friends and
family thought held a PhD from
the University of Utah, actually
received the degree due to a
paperwork error - and that in fact
he didn’t ever even graduate, the
obituary published in the Salt
Lake Tribune confirmed.
There was also a confession of
theft: “As it turns out, I AM the
guy who stole the safe from the
Motor View Drive Inn back in June
1971,” he wrote.
According to local broadcaster
KSL-TV, his widow Mary Jane
agreed that the confessions were
truthful.
