Shocker: Nantucket, MV Full of Happy Healthy People Living the Dream

Shocker: Nantucket, MV Full of Happy Healthy People Living the Dream. So it turns out, according to a new report out from the Wisconsin Population Health Institute, some of the healthiest people in the state live on the islands, where there are piles of beaches, recreational facilities, and that fresh, salty sea air. Indeed, residents there are better off when it comes to income, education, diet and exercise, crime rates, death, smoking, and so much more. Clogged, congested, stressed-the-frack-out Boston and Springfield, meanwhile, are home to some of the least fit. Color us shocked. Seriously: I mean, sure, it’s always nice to hear how well our neighbors are doing, is anyone surprised here? [Boston.com]
