Healthiest Countries in the World

Table of Contents

A country’s health can be attributed to a number of different things. The healthiest nations are often those with developed economies, lower pollution levels, and access to high-quality healthcare and clean water. Unhealthy nations frequently lack access to clean water and competent healthcare, are more likely to have high levels of pollution and disease and have lower standards of living with shorter life expectancies, and higher newborn mortality rates.

The Bloomberg Global Health Index ranks 169 of the world’s healthiest and unhealthiest countries based on all of these factors as well as additional ones, such as life expectancy, malnutrition, and causes of death, as well as health risks like smoking, high blood pressure, and obesity. Each nation is rated out of a maximum score of 100 using a variety of parameters.

In this article, we look at the list of the healthiest countries in the world to see which one is leading the pack and, what they are doing well.

The 10 Healthiest Countries in the World

1. Spain

Score: 92.75

Spain is one of the countries that follow the Mediterranean Diet. This diet emphasizes healthy fats and protein. These vitamins are heart-healthy, making Spain one of the countries with the lowest risk of heart disease. The Spanish love the simple joys of life and have a very easygoing lifestyle which helps their mental health too. The Spanish people are also very active. They walk and exercise frequently, which helps to stimulate brain function and improve mental benefits.

2. Italy

Score: 91.59

Italy has one of the best cuisines in the world and it’s true that their culture is profoundly rooted in food. The Italian diet is high in fruit, vegetables, lean meat, legumes, fresh fish, and olive oil along with pasta and pizza. The Mediterranean diet isn’t the only reason though. The Italian way of life that focuses on leisure, family, frequent walks, and sunshine is a key factor why Italy is one of the healthiest countries.

3. Iceland

Score: 91.44

Iceland is one of the healthiest countries thanks to its focus on fish and its nutritious dairy products. Iceland has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world, with men's life expectancy standing at 82. With an average lifespan of 84, women live longer. There are hot springs, rivers, waterfalls, glaciers, and springs all over this country which helps the residents enjoy a quality life. Iceland has also very clean water.

4. Japan

Score: 91.38

The traditional cuisine of Japan, which mainly consists of rice, fish, vegetables, seaweed, Japanese pickles, and green tea is an obvious factor contributing to the country's high life expectancy rate. The islands off Japan's southern coast have a lengthy history of longevity. Okinawans have low rates of cancer, heart disease, and dementia and the women outlive all other women on the earth. Japanese people also value connections with others and with nature.

5. Switzerland

Score: 90.93

The Swiss have a long and prosperous life that is not primarily attributed to nutrition. In actuality, their primary cultural foods—sausage, chocolate, cheese, and bread—are not particularly healthful. However, the Swiss stay healthy by staying active. The mountains serve as a playground for the residents. Also, they value their friendships and are known for their good relations with the members of their community which helps their mental health.

6. Sweden

Score: 90.24

There are many factors contributing to Swedes' exceptional health, but the Scandinavian diet may be one of the most important. People eat a lot of vegetables, rye bread, and fatty fish, all of which have significant health advantages. Also, Sweden has a world-class healthcare system to which all citizens have access, and work-life balance can be traced in businesses. Swedish people enjoy daily walks, and almost half of the population cycle to and from work.
