MindBody, a technology platform for the wellness industry, just published its Top 10 list of healthiest American cities as part of its 2021 Mindbody Wellness Index. The index looks at American wellness across all seven dimensions: physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, environmental, social and occupational.

The MindBody study evaluated the 50 largest cities in the U.S. by population, and ranked them from most to least healthy through a proprietary scoring algorithm.

Researchers factored in how much city residents exercise, how stressed they are, the amount of rest they get, how many of them smoke, how much alcohol they drink and their body mass index as defined by the Centers for Disease Control.
