The Amish Have a Lower Rate of Cancer

The Amish live a physically active life. They believe in being self-sufficient, which means they don’t use modern amenities such as washing machines, dishwashers, or vacuum cleaners. We all know the benefits of physical activity, and this definitely has a positive effect on their health.

They also grow their own food. Growing their own food means that most of it is organic. Therefore, they don’t consume as much processed food as the rest of the population. They also rarely consume alcohol or cigarettes.
