A survey released by Gallup and Healthways stated that people who live in big cities tend to have better health than those in smaller cities. Despite the polluted air and crowded transportation, big cities with urban parks, joggers and cyclists help motivate people to be healthy.
The study states that the essence of "active living" in large cities gains more and more participants every year. Just like the common saying, "the city never sleeps", people are always active when living in a city. Therefore as more people move into large cities, they view their peers and gain the same motivation.
The cities that ranked the first in this study were San Francisco, Boston, Washington, New York, and Chicago. The ones that were last on the list were Tulsa, Durham, and Indianapolis. This study was performed in order to show those the benefits of their peers and residency as well as encouraging people to exercise.
