Statistics show New Englanders tend to earn more money and are often better educated than people from other areas of the United States.  The low poverty level in New England means people have better access to healthcare and can afford pricier, more nutritious food.  As Laura Segal, public affairs director for the Trust for America’s Health, points out "chips are a lot cheaper than pineapple."

Walter Willet, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health says that Northeasterners tend to place a heavier emphasis on the quality of food over quantity, while Midwestern meals, for example, tend to be hearty and rib sticking.

  Exercise, like food, may also attribute to why New England has lower rates of obesity than other parts of the country.  There are more public destinations within walking distance, lessening the need for constant travel by car.  Other Americans rely exclusively on automobile transportation in order to get around, especially in rural areas.  Many parts of New England are adorned with bike paths and other exercise trails frequently used by joggers, walkers, bikers and more.

Curiously, the study reports that not all Northeastern states are so slim.  Maine had the highest instance of obesity of all the region’s states.  Maine’s public health director, Dora Mills, says the state’s mostly open, rural land makes it necessary for people to travel by car, which might explain the frequency of obesity.

  Unfortunately, New England may not relish for long in its status as slimmest region of the country.  In recent years obesity rates have actually climbed in New England.  Despite having a 10 percent smaller instance of obesity than the state of Mississippi, the rate is still too high according to health experts.  Gemma Gorham, nutrition coordinator for Rhode Island’s obesity prevention program says it is essential to stabilize the obesity trend from growing further, in order to reverse the trend.'

Comments: One thing to take from this article may be that just adding a little bit of walking to your day can make a big difference in your weight. Maybe try parking a little further away when visiting any store. Or how about the other side of the mall so you can walk the length of it to reach your store. Even taking a 15 minute break to take a walk during the work day is healthy and will make you more productive. Either way, a little bit more activity will go along way toward improving and maintaining good health!
