We’ve heard a lot about the need to improve our bodies in recent years, so if you really want to get into tip-top shape you may want to move to this state.

America’s Health Rankings, an annual study of the nation’s well-being, has concluded that the healthiest state is Hawaii, which has never finished below sixth since the study was launched in 1990, proving that a lifestyle of luaus and surfing is just what the doctor ordered.

Mississippi, meanwhile, is the unhealthiest state, leading a parade of Southern states that perhaps feast too much on a diet of fried anything and everything, couch surfing and packs of menthol.

The rankings are created by looking at a variety of factors, including data about smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, diabetes, drinking, high school graduation rates and children in poverty.
