The national health rankings are out. Every state is going backwards when it comes to health. Colorado is ranked #11, with the lowest levels of obesity and diabetes in the country. However, in 2012, obesity in Colorado rose from 19% to 21.4% and diabetes rose from 5.7 to 6%.
Nebraska is ranked #15, Illinois at #30, and Texas came in at #40. Mississippi and Louisiana are tied for 49th place and are dead last. Vermont is again #1.
