Americans less healthy than Brits?

I fear this is disturbing news for my pals across the pond, but according to the Journal of the American Medical Association, Americans are a darned sight less healthy than Brits. Americans aged 55-64 are up to twice as likely to have diabetes, lung cancer and high blood pressure as their English counterparts, and even the healthiest Americans have disease rates similar to the least healthy groups over here. Oh dear. The cause? A mixture of different healthcare systems, unknown factors - and diet/exercise. This helps explain why my favourite search term 'healthy eating' is tapped into Google three times in the UK, for every one search in the US. Could it be time to check out my healthy eating site, and make some much-needed changes?
