This is the healthiest birth month

This is the healthiest birth month

The month you were born in doesn't just say something about your zodiac sign.

Your month of birth also says something about your health
Researchers from Columbia University have studied 1,600 diseases and 1.7 million patients. They found that several diseases were more common in people born in a certain month.

What does the month in which you were born say?
Asthma is more common in people born in October and July, while ADHD is more common in people born in November. Those born in March are more likely to have heart disease. Were you born in May? Then you have the least chance of diseases.

The effect is small
Although the researchers have found links between certain conditions and birth months, the month in which you were born ultimately says little about your actual health; how healthy you eat and whether your sport has much more influence on this than your birth month.
