After spending several weeks in Spain I began to notice how vibrant and healthy people looked so I did a little research. The Bloomberg report rated countries by many different health factors on a scale of 1 to 100. Some of the factors included were; Life Expectancy, Nutrition/diet, Exercise, Access to Health Care, Clean Air & Water, Controllable Health Risks to name a few. Spain has a very low obesity rate. Their Mediterranean diet consists of fruits, vegetable, fresh fish, olive oil & nuts with very little red meat and processed foods. 37% of people here walk or ride bike to work. Everyone here has access to quality healthcare.
Who were the top 5 in this study? Spain 92.75 / Italy 91.59 / Iceland 91.44 / Japan 91.38 and Switzerland 90.93. (The USA was 75.9 which was the 35th on the list).
