Attaboy, Bay State! New Study Ranks Massachusetts 2nd Fittest State In The Country – Live 95.9

The Berkshires’ Hit Music
Way to go, all you fitness fans, ultimate work-outers, and health nuts! A recent study places Massachusetts at #2 for healthiest states. I was just telling one of my co-workers that I wouldn't have thought that a state that tends to be fairly cold for at least one-third of the year would have ranked so high. Nevertheless, I'm glad to be wrong and proud as hell!
NiceRX, a company that provides professional assistance to people who can't afford their medications or who may be ineligible for Medicare and much more, conducted a study looking at the healthiest, fittest states in the country.
And WOW! Massachusetts almost tops the list. That's not an easy feat to be sure. For the study, the NiceRX team looked at a number of key metrics in each state such as the number of smokers, percentage of residents who are binge drinkers, life expectancy, how often residents eat fruit and exercise, etc.
They then looked at all their findings and from that, they were able to determine which states are indeed the healthiest. The only state healthier than Massachusetts is Washington, according to the study.
Utah places at #3 for healthiest states. Some other cool findings about Massachusetts:
