New Hampshire Flexes Its Muscles: One of Healthiest States in U.S.

Congratulations, New Hampshire!  You did it.  Granite Staters are the healthiest New Englanders according to newsweek.com.

Why is New Hampshire the Best?

Take into consideration all the variables, like health care, healthy lifestyle habits, and what's around in the environment to keep us well, and it's easy to see why the Northeast ranks high among the best in the nation.

For New Hampshire it gets even better than just being the #1 healthiest of the six New England states.

New Hampshire is #2 overall in America as the fittest state, but we have to give props to Vermont and Massachusetts, which also made the top 5 list of the healthiest states.

New Hampshire and New England in general, do a great job at educating the population about healthy lifestyle choices, exercise, and eating fresh food.

We are very fortunate to have good food in nearby shops which work hard to provide its residents with the best products to fuel our body.

Look at all the options for outdoor activities year round.

The lakes region is robust in the spring, summer, and fall, while the coastal region is hopping year-round with all types of activities for all.

New Hampshire has the White Mountains, with plenty of skiing, hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, and skating in the colder months, and camping, hiking, fishing, and chilling out with spectacular views the rest of the year.

Which State Was #1?

It's great to be in New Hampshire, but if you travel to the westernmost part of the United States, across the Pacific Ocean, the state of Hawaii is the #1 most healthy state in the nation.

I think the reasons are obvious.
