Ocean City Is One Of NJ's Healthiest Towns, New Survey Says

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Get outside and breathe in that fresh, salt air. You're in one of New Jersey's healthiest towns, after all.

A new study conducted by Leafwell found that Ocean City is the tenth healthiest city in the state, using the number of times each town Googles a search term related with a healthy lifestyle.

The 305 terms used include: "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.

In Ocean City, the average monthly search volume per 10,000 people is 1,389, according to Leafwell. The study says that the top-searched term is "gym near me" and the second-most searched is "healthy food near me."

"Also, the data reveals New Jersey cities searching for anti-wrinkle serums, SPF, and different types of gym exercises - showcasing clear interest optimising a healthy lifestyle," said Lewis Jassey from Leafwell.

According to the study, New Jersey's top three healthiest cities are Tinton Falls, Freehold and Westwood.

"The advantage of New Jersey for residents is that it has several communities that promote healthy living. With so many parks, farmers' markets, and organizations that encourage wellness, residents are spoilt for choice," Jassey said.

Another recent study said that Ocean City has some of the cleanest air in the state as well.

So when you take that stroll down the Boardwalk, take pride that you're in one of New Jersey's healthiest areas.
