The Birth Month For the Best Health
People who are born in December are quite possibly healthier than the rest of us--and a lot healthier than those born in March.
Those with December birthdays are predisposed to respiratory syncytial virus, an infection that causes pneumonia, but that's nothing compared to people who are born in March, who are predisposed to a veritable medical textbook of illnesses and disorders: Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, narcolepsy, Hodgkin's disease, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.
Medical experts from a variety of prestigious research institutions, including Stanford University, Southwest Missouri State University, and Stanley Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Md., have independently found a link between the month in which you were born and a predisposition to certain illnesses, reports ABC News. If there is any explanation between birth month and disease it is most likely environmental, although no study has been able to prove a definitive cause-and-effect relationship. For example, fetal exposure to a virus in the second trimester of pregnancy when neurodevelopment begins may be linked to schizophrenia.
What diseases and disorders are most common for each birth month? ABC News compiled this list:
JANUARY
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, respiratory syncytial virus
FEBRUARY
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, epilepsy
MARCH
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, narcolepsy, Hodgkin's disease, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, epilepsy
APRIL
Leukemia, dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, ALS
MAY
Dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's disease
JUNE
Anorexia, diabetes, dyslexia, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's disease, and celiac disease
JULY
Diabetes, celiac disease, dyslexia, learning disabilities
AUGUST
Diabetes, celiac disease, autism, Crohn's disease
SEPTEMBER
ADHD, asthma
OCTOBER
Asthma, eczema
NOVEMBER
Asthma, eczema, respiratory syncytial virus
DECEMBER
Respiratory syncytial virus
The medical experts agree that while there appears to be a pattern between birth month and disease, none of this is a prediction for what will happen to specific individuals. In addition, more research is needed to figure out how a person's birth month actually influences his or her health.
"MARCH
Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, narcolepsy, Hodgkin's disease, multiple sclerosis, bipolar disorder, epilepsy."
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm none of those so far.........
