Check out this article link from webmd.com (http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/cooking-light-best-cities-awards) Cooking Light conducted a survey, using statistics from such organizations as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Zagat Survey, and ranked major metropolitan areas on 15 criteria.
Baltimore made the top 20 coming in at number 11. There are many opportunities to exercise throughout the area, and a vibrant community of healthy restaurants that offer fresh, local foods. There is also a somewhat underground movement in Baltimore of "slow-eating." This moniker refers to eating foods that are fresh, and often organic, with a focus on mindful dining.
This past weekend on April 5th, The National Aquarium held a Green Gala as part of this month's upcoming Earth Day events. This event not only focused on environmental consciousness, but also on healthy living with regional chefs presenting organic and locally grown fare.
So explore the healthier side of Baltimore and visit restaurants such as Azafran, Roy's, Stone Mill and The Bicycle, just to name a few, for nutrient rich meals.
