Those who use the social media network Facebook live longer lives, a survey conducted by the University of California - San Diego concluded.The research focused on 12 million Facebook users born between 1945 and 1989. UCSD studied users for six months on their Facebook habits.According to UCSD researchers,the average Facebook user is about 12 percent less likely to die than someone who doesnt use the site. One possible factor is social or economic differences between those who use Facebook and those who not.The study also found that those with more f reebok classic riends tend to live longer.Those who post a large number of photos while writing few number of status updates did the best as far as longevity. The association between longevity and social networks was identified by Lisa Berkman in 1979 and has been replicated hundreds of times since, said Fowler.

I m considering, Ingraham said on Fox yeezy Friends. I haven t made any decisions yet. If Ingraham does enter the race, it would potentially set up a high-profile matchup with Tim Kaine, Virginia s junior senator who served as Hillary Clinton s running mate in last year s presidential race.But a Senate bid -- or even just considering one -- could bring Ingraham s nearly decade-long run at Fox News to at least a temporary end.
