(2) Seattle
(3) Boston
(4) Washington D.C.
(5) Atlanta
(6) Philadelphia
(7) Chicago
(8) Dallas/Fort Worth
(9) New York City

Health experts “took into consideration a number of health indicators, including the percentage of people who exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, eat the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables, have access to health care, have health insurance and don’t smoke,” according to an article in USA Today.
