Even the Furniture Circassians Use Contributes to Their Longer Life Expectancy, KBR Researchers Say

Staunton, June 10 – New research by scholars at the Kabardino-Balkaria State University finds that the cultural code of the Circassians – the Adyge Khaze – the clothes they wear, and even the furniture they have traditionally used contributes to longer life expectancy — including an unusual number of centenarians among them.
The North Caucasus is famous for the number of people who live to great age, and many have offered their theories as to why that is so.
