Los Angeles may have the reputation as the wellness capital of the US, but according to new data from roommate site SpareRoom, if you want to find people who are passionate about a healthy & holistic lifestyle, you’re better off looking in Denver, or Portland, or pretty much anywhere other than LA.

Matt Hutchinson, spokesperson for SpareRoom comments: “Los Angeles is often portrayed as a city full of clean eaters and healthy livers, but it turns out there are lots of cities where the locals are more wellness focussed, starting with Denver.
