Health has become the new status symbol for Americans across all age groups, income brackets and ethnicities. According to a survey conducted by Manning Selvage & Lee, 72 percent of Americans say that being physically healthy is a major symbol of success for them personally.
The survey also revealed that 91 percent of respondents said they would rather be talked about as someone who is “healthy” than as someone who is “wealthy,” and 71 percent of Americans would prefer to be described as someone who “looks really healthy” than as someone who looks “put together or well-dressed.”
