So how is this new data compiled to find the "healthiest" towns in New Jersey? "The research conducted by Leafwell analyzes all 109 regions, towns and cities across New Jersey based on the number of times each state Googles a search term related with a healthy lifestyle." So exactly what does that mean? "The experts have used 305 search terms, such as; “how to be healthy”, “how to make a healthy smoothie”, “workout gyms near me”, “best way to lose belly fat”, “what is the best skin anti-aging cream”, " best glute exercises”, “how to meditate properly” and more." So the more interest in living a healthy lifestyle the higher your ranking. This is actually an interesting take on "health". Makes sense to be "healthy" you have to think "healthy". I actually recently googled the best vitamins for men in my age range lol
