BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – People all over the world are living longer due to improvements in lifestyle standards. The average life expectancy in almost every country has increased over the last several decades, according to the CIA World Factbook. The seven countries with the longest life expectancy are Japan, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Monaco, Macau, and San Marino. The CIA World Factbook also explained that the people from those seven nations live longer than Americans, because U.S. citizens die sooner than expected due to poor diets, traffic fatalities, or angering a neighbor that owns a gun.
