The folks at Livability.com did some research and gave Minneapolis the honors of being the healthiest city in America for 2015.

According to KARE 11, Livability.com took in to account many factors before placing Minneapolis at the top.  Things such as exercise opportunities, good food choices and the park system were all used to determine America's healthiest city.  If you think about Minneapolis, they've got so much to offer when it comes to each of these factors.  There's no shortage of parks or good restaurants and there are many places to get a good workout in.

They also looked at things like obesity rates, the ratio of doctors to residents, the healthcare system and many other factors as well.

It doesn't surprise me in the least that Minneapolis came in at #1.  It's a very 'happening' city, where you have many people who are up on the latest trends when it comes to eating well and physical activity.  Way to go!
