Raleigh was just ranked as the healthiest city for women and ranked in the top 10 healthiest for men. The
honor published by Women’s Health and Men’s Health magazine considered everything from prevention to how many vegetable servings/day are eaten in the mix.
Raleigh women are strong on prevention and Raleigh men have above average fitness and lower obesity rates (how about that ladies?)

Raleigh is a vibrant city and the weather makes you want to get out and enjoy the outdoors. People are friendly, concerned about the environment and energy conservation, and there seems to be a health club on every block.
Although the magazine utilized measurable data, I believe that much of what is to love about the lifestyle in Raleigh is an intangible.
