Welcome!
A blog about Charles n Heather’s decision to move to western Canada.
You know, that big landmass to the north of the US that most Americans know almost nothing about? :)
Turns out it’s a very diverse and interesting (and beautiful) place with history, culture, multiple political parties, a budget surplus (most of the time), eco-friendliness, world respect and a vision for the future.
We find that very attractive. We hope you will too.

Could the differences in life expectancy between Japan and the U.S. have something to do with diet, other lifestyle factors and genetics?

Certainly the Japanese diet plays a role, but I would discount the other two since a) lifestyle factors can be replicated and b) I don't believe there are serious genetic differences among humans.
But while Japan does exceptionally well, the facts are in -- universal health care coverage contributes strongly to quality and quantity of life. Canadians, who have the same lifestyle and genetics as the US, enjoy a *three-year* advantage in average lifespan.
