Right Hand Vs. Left Hand: Who's Healthier?By: Penny Butler
Our health is the culmination of inherited possibilities, and daily consistencies. We might inherit the potential for heart disease, but if we live a life of good eating habits, good exercise habits, and attend to nutritional and rest requirements; we can often overcome the inherited potential. We can glean some information from what has been learned about natural handedness tendencies to make some assumptions about a person's personality traits that might contribute to the overall health of the individual, but nothing that can be tied directly to the "handedness" of the individual. First of all, there is only about 10% of the population that is left-handed. Now, if you're trying to conduct research, on any topic, you need a more even distribution of subject matter. If 90% of our population is right-handed, there is no way to get a proper perspective on comparative features. The explanations of right-handed versus left-handed are still very vague generalizations, and no one group has been able to successfully explain why we are one way or the other. Since we aren't even able to agree on the reasons for the existence of a preference, how could we possibly study the health of one group versus the other, and come up with any usable information? What we can determine are some general characteristics of one versus the other, and draw "generalizations" from that information. Most often, left-handed people are less cautious than right-handed counterparts, leading us to assume that there are more health-risks for the less cautious. Second, there is the belief that left-handed people are more creative, more extroverted than right-handers; this would lead us to assume that again, left-handed people are more exposed to opportunities for ill-health or accidents. In all of this generalization however, there is this fact: there are more left-handed women than men, and women tend to live longer than men. This evidence simply throws all other generalizations into a quandary. Does our handedness affect our health, I think not.
