Could it be that in the big world we know something we do not know?

A large-scale project by the British economic website Money, reveals the list of the 40 healthiest cities in the world to live in.

According to the ranking,

Haifa

wins 12th place, despite its bad reputation when it comes to air pollution.

Tel Aviv, which in our eyes is also considered a city where fresh air is not a common thing - is ranked in a much higher place - sixth place - in the overall ranking.

The editors of the ranking set a number of criteria, from which the final results were derived.

These include metrics such as population life expectancy, obesity rates, crime rate, target population, medical services, average price per kilogram of apples, personal safety level and number of hours of sunshine per year. The

project has created two different rankings: the countries and cities As for the countries, Spain ranks first, boasting a balanced Mediterranean diet and thus also contributing to the longevity of its inhabitants.

United States: One of the least healthy in the world

Other interesting figures that emerge from the ranking include the fact that Japan is one of the least polluting countries and has a significantly higher life expectancy.

It also shows that the United States is considered one of the least healthy countries in the world, mainly due to the obesity index of its citizens (ranked 153 out of 166).

In the United States, considerable space is given to processed foods, sedentary lifestyles, and inactivity.

As for the cities, it appears that Valencia in Spain is the healthiest city to live in.

Its residents lead an active and healthy lifestyle, its climate is sunny and pleasant, air pollution is low and the local diet is rich in healthy ingredients such as omega 3. It also encourages social interaction between its residents and a sense of community - leading to a sense of security and mental balance.

The ranking also shows that Helsinki, the capital of Finland, boasts the cleanest air in the world and Zurich in Switzerland is the safest city in the world.

As mentioned,

Tel Aviv and Haifa

are in respectable places on the list.

Both indicated high life expectancy (82.8 years), and the highest number of hours of sunshine per year (3,311).

However, Haifa's overall rating is declining due to its level of air pollution, which is relatively high compared to Tel Aviv.

The cost of living in both cities is also high, and the price of a kilogram of apples is relatively high compared to most countries in the ranking: £ 2.91 (NIS 13) in Tel Aviv.

Apple prices are higher only in Geneva and Tokyo, where the price is double that of Tel Aviv.

The other indices of the pair of Israeli cities are in a good place in the middle of the overall ranking.

Boasts the cleanest air in the world.
