I love this report. It comes out annually and my hometown of Boston always ranks well. The American College of Sports Medicine ranks city on a scale of 1 to 100 for levels of health. They look at chronic disease, diet, smoking, etc. Where does your city rank?
We’ve been hearing about it for years, if we’re stressed out we’ll reach for the fatty, sugary foods and gain weight. But why exactly does that happen? How does stress, a far too common affliction, effect our bodies?
For the record, I want Jillian to be a high-level trainer because she does have the ability to literally inspire millions.
