Tennessee is Top 5 Happiest State

How do you feel right now? Would you say you’re happy? If so, you’re one of the reasons Tennessee is listed in the top 5 for happiest states in the U.S. A new survey that started four years ago by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention collected data from 1.3 million people in all states and ranked their happiness based on various indicators. There was a tight correlation between states that rank as ‘happiest’ and states that have a high quality of life. There was also a high correlation to states that enjoy lots of sunshine and beautiful surroundings, which certainly fits a description of Tennessee. The Knoxville News-Sentinel also shares why states like New York and California ranked so low:

Rounding out the happy five were Hawaii, Florida, Tennessee and Arizona.

At the other end of the scale – last in happiness – is New York state.

As if to illustrate the problem, residents attending a meeting Wednesday in rural Queensbury unleashed their anger and cynicism at a state government they described as corrupt, self-dealing and too quick to increase taxes. It was a tirade that had one lifelong resident saying he was ready to flee “this stinkin’ state.”

Oswald suggested the long commutes, congestion and high prices around New York City account for some of the unhappiness.

He said he has been asked if the researchers expected that states like New York and California, which ranked 46th, would do so badly in the happiness ranking.

“I am only a little surprised,” he said. “Many people think these states would be marvelous places to live in. The problem is that if too many individuals think that way, they move into those states, and the resulting congestion and house prices make it a nonfulfilling prophecy.”

Blurring Lines Between Cosmetic Surgery and Cosmetic Dentistry

To date cosmetic dentistry and cosmetic surgery have been two different areas of practice. But an increasing demand for both services is blurring the lines between the two. Patients who are going “under the knife” to alter the shape of their face will often require adjustments to their teeth or other dental adjustments. Some practices are even combining the two services into a face lift dental practice that allows patients to correct a nose problem at the same time as fixing a mouth issue, for example. The Daily Downer discusses one such practice in California:

Most people would prefer to have a great looking face, along with a comfortable mouth position. For this reason, Dr. Muslin’s proprietary service, Face Lift Dentistry, can help people readjust their bite, while also having their face look smoother and many years younger. This can be a perfect solution for anyone having jaw problems along with facial structure issues. Often, increasing the support your mouth has, will increase the youth and vitality your face offers.

For a long time, dentists had to deal with unwanted effects on the facial proportions of their patient resulting from cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic surgeons had to deal with the same issues due to the ineffectiveness of their solutions. Now, people can get both of their problem areas addressed with one solution, Dr. Muslin’s proprietary procedure, Face Lift Dentistry. This process will let you feel comfortable and look younger.

Now that Dr. Muslin has developed this solution, people no longer have to live with unwanted side effects from their facial or dental constructions. Both aspects of the body can now be aligned into a perfect structure, to look great from every angle.
