The Secret Behind How Australian Men Live Longer Than American Men
11They love sports
Australian men love their sports like American men love their burgers. It is not an offense to call Australia a “sports crazy” country. It is just the facts as proven by the Olympics where the nation ends up getting in the top 5 even though the population is low. These victories motivate and inspire the young population to take up sports and love the outdoors.

12They love being outdoors
Even the young population in Australia loves the outdoors. Yes, you will see many young Australian boys sitting at home playing ‘Fortnite’ but the majority of the young men population love playing outdoors. From cricket to rugby or football, these young kids love being outdoors and it becomes a habit even when they grow up which makes them far healthier than their American counterparts.

13They are tough
Australian men are known for their innate toughness. There is an online meme that says Australia is a landmine field with all the deadly animals and reptiles that live there and it is true. But, what the Internet does not realize is that these deadly animals and reptiles make the men so tough. Australian men love the outdoor so they need to learn to be tough from a very young age.

14Peer pressure comes into play
Australian children love playing outdoors and when one gets hurt peer pressure comes into play. They are not that supportive or comforting like their American counterparts unless the injury is really bad. They learn to stop complaining and walk it off from a very young age which builds a strong attitude inside them. This just adds to the tough exterior they have when they grow up.

15The conclusion
In the end, we can see why the average Australian man lives longer than the American counterpart. A study revealed that the average Australian man can expect a life expectancy of about 74 years which is more than the 71.5 years, the American counterpart gets. A stress-free life, good diet and plenty of exercise from a young age will do this to you.
