Yes we live in Minneapolis and our city was just voted the healthiest city by the American College of Sports Medicine. Many factors gave us this best rating such as our overall good health, education, income, and a higher percentage of physical activity. These are things your would expect to be evaluated, but there are several other factors I find interesting and reason to be proud of us and our city.
For example, we have a higher percentage of city land in parks, more people bike and walk to work, more dog parks and more tennis courts.
A couple additional factors near and dear to our hearts- there are more farmers markets and more people eating the recommended 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
So take advantage of our long awaited warm weather and get out and stroll your local farmers market. Get creative with the early produce. One of the things I just made was my version of Cobb salad with freshly picked leaf lettuce.
I added fresh corn cut from the cob, blue cheese, crisp bacon, grape tomatoes, avocado, hard cooked egg and a little sliced Italian ham. Yummm!
