The AARP Magazine just came out with its "Healthiest Hometowns" list, and we've made a good showing again. The Bay Area, which extends from the Napa Valley to the Silicon Valley in their statistics...through San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, came out as #9 on the list. They say that it is a great area to be healthy after age 50, and that its residents are the least likely in the country to be overweight, (average BMI is 25.98)and the least likely to smoke.
They also mentioned our world-famous medical centers and the fact that it is densely populated, but still has neighborhoods that encourage foot, bicycle and public transportation.
