When it comes to living healthy and long life, Minneapolis-St. Paul is the eighth best place to be, according to a survey published in the September-October issue of AARP Magazine out this week.Minneapolis-St. Paul was lauded for having quality health care along with high rates for the percentage of adults who have health care, exercise regularly, engage in volunteer work and recycle. The magazine also cited the city's wide-reaching wireless network, its forward-thinking policies (we were the first state to designate smoke-free areas in restaurants in 1975), and its many cultural offerings.
To come up with its list, the magazine looked at 30 criteria such as life expectancy, percentage of people who are happy with their lives, air and water quality, and smoking, obesity and exercise rates. Source Star Tribune and AARP magazine
