Here are 7 Reasons Why.
There are 5 “Blue Zones” in the world where residents tend to live long, healthy lives…often to 100 years of age and older. One of these is in Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula…but in truth, this “healthiness” extends to the rest of the country, too.
It’s no wonder that expats in Costa Rica report that they feel much better than they did before they moved here. Many say they’ve lost weight, lowered their blood pressure and cholesterol levels, feel better overall, and have far more energy than they did before.
It’s really not that hard to figure out—life is just better in Costa Rica.
But here are 7 reasons why you, too, may see a significant improvement in your health if you should move to Costa Rica:
The Climate. Better weather = more time outside. Sunshine and fresh air are good for you.
Live The Active Lifestyle
You’ll be more active. See reason #1. You can be outside more, and because you can, you’ll likely do most of your daily errands on foot. Besides, there are lots of gorgeous beaches, mountains, lakes, and rainforests to explore.
You’ll eat a healthier diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables grow like weeds in Costa Rica. You’ll probably have abundant fruit trees in your yard. Processed, fatty foods are few and far between…and you likely won’t be overserved at restaurants where portions tend to be smaller.
Healthy foods cost less. Costa Rica is famous for its local “superfoods”…avocado, coconut, flax seed, chia seed, cacao, and more. If it doesn’t grow in your yard, you can buy it at the local farmer’s market for pennies.
The healthcare system is A+. In the just-released 2019 Bloomberg Global Health study of the world’s healthiest countries, Costa Rica ranks as the healthiest country in Central America…ranking ahead of the U.S.
Eco-conscious environmental policies. If clean air and clean water are important to you, you’ll love that Costa Rica generates 99% of its energy from renewable source, and the government has pledged to soon eliminate all fossil fuels.
A low stress way of life. Life is laid back in Costa Rica. No rush, no fuss, Pura Vida.
In Costa Rica, life is better in so many ways. And if living happier and healthier is important to you, then you owe it to yourself to check out Costa Rica.
As I’ve said, if you live in Costa Rica, chances are you’ll be healthier than ever. It can be like having your own Fountain of Youth in your backyard.
