Van Trung of Dorchester windsurfed in the Sugar Bowl of Pleasure Bay in South Boston in October 2009. Said Trung: "To put it in a poetic way, its like Zen on the water. Everything is so relaxed. It's a soothing release.''
Feeling relaxed? According to Forbes magazine, Boston is one of the 10 most relaxed cities in the United States.
In fact, Boston ranked third in the magazine's list, which was released earlier this month.
To compile the list, Forbes examined the 40 biggest cities in the United States and focused on six areas related to stress — unemployment rates, traffic, hours spent at work, health, health care access, and the amount of exercise a person gets.
According to Forbes, Boston "boasts healthy residents and a world class health infrastructure."
The cities that ranked above Boston were St. Paul, Minn., and Milwaukee, Wis., which were first and second, respectively.
