It's that time of year again…for the rankings of the healthiest (and unhealthiest) states in America.
The United Health Foundation's 2014 America's Health Rankings reviews the status of the nation's health, state by state. For the past 25 years, the United Health Foundation, along with the American Public Health Association and the Partnership for Prevention, has been crunching data to reveal the nation's health strengths and weaknesses.
This year, the good news is that there's been progress on a number of health habits such as smoking cessation and increased child immunization rates. Life expectancy is also the highest it's ever been. But the bad news is that obesity rates continue to climb, while physical activity slows down.
