Natural Fountain of Youth Costa Rica
HEALTHY PEOPLE Oprah exposed Costa Rica as one of the world’s 5 Blue Zones (area with large population of Centurions). The power of health is in the mineral rich alkaline water, hormone free beef and poultry, freely grown fruits and vegetables that are naturally ripened in the sun, the way they were intended to by nature, in the oxygen rich air from the rain forests and 1000’s of acres of Mangroves, and daily natural Vitamin D provided by the sun, 266 days of the year. Above all, I believe these communities of 100 year olds’ healthy state of mind comes from a culture of relaxed, confident, family loving people who work hard, have active lifestyles, love lots and worship their green environment.
HEALTHY LIFESTYLE You will find bewildering diverse landscapes and environments from volcanoes to flatlands, lakes, 3 mountain ranges, deserts, rain and cloud forest, with 1300 km of shoreline and beautiful beaches.
Choose from hundreds of remote beaches where you can still freely camp, build a fire and drive your 4x4 on, with swimming, snorkeling, surfing, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, sun bathing and much more. You can be pampered at many extravagant resorts or create your own paradise with 33 National parks and outstanding wildlife biological reserves. Entertainment and adventure are limitless in this paradise on earth.
HEALTHY COUNTRY Costa Rica is the oldest and most stable democracy in Latin America that constitutionally abolished its army in 1948. It received a Nobel Peace Prize for helping end civil wars in Central America. Ticos (Costa Ricans) are its greatest asset, peaceful, friendly and are rated by Happy Planet Index as the happiest country in the world with the highest life satisfaction rating. Ticos are very family oriented, have an affordable universal Medicare system that looks after its people, and have obligatory and free education which contributes to the highest literacy rate in Central America at 96.1%.
BY JERRY SEDMAK
Having travelled the world for the last 40 years to over 50 countries, I am totally amazed at how many ways I discovered the fountain of youth in Costa Rica. I have seen wrinkles disappear, anxiety diminish, bodies detox and permanent smiles appear. With 12 climate zones, National Geographic rates Costa Rica’s climate as one of the best in the world with an average tempera- ture year round of 27°C. All that is coupled with a balanced ecosystem that creates a perfect environment for a healthy lifestyle and a must place to visit.
HEALTH IN OUR FINANCES Costa Rica is known as the “Switzerland of the America’s” because of its friendly foreign investor tax laws. Individuals and corporations are guaranteed by law to fully own and manage their assets and can repatriate their capital without restriction. Costa Rica’s political, economic and currency stability have added the benefit of risk hedging ones assets by diversifying off shore as an alternative to the North American investment crisis. With no capital gains or inheritance tax, Real Estate has been a lifestyle and profitable investment for North Americans.
This country offers a lifestyle that promotes health in our bodies and in our finances with lower cost of living, taxes, insurance, medical, food and housing, ranging between $1500-$2500 per month. It’s a great place to consider for semi or full time retirement.
Experience Costa Rica. It will touch your soul and be etched in your mind forever.
