Would retiring out of the United States benefit your health?

A recent article written by International Living says so. This article pinpoints the five best places to go to live a longer, healthier and essentially happier life.

"Optimism and purpose, a low stress level, a natural diet and an active lifestyle…experts say those factors are three times as important as your genetic makeup when it comes to enjoying a long and healthy life." -This makes perfect sense to me. No nine-hour minimums at the office, no hustle and bustle of the busy city life, no fast food chain every 10-feet, the list goes on. The American lifestyle is known to be one full of stress, work and being overweight - oh and freedom and opportunity. Don't get me wrong, I love America and I love Utah. But, there are some major advantages to living in a country that follows a 'slower pace' of life and a lower cost of living.

Escape to a place where you will live longer and healthier!
Here is International Living's top five:
New Zealand
Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula
Sardinia
Vilcabamba, Ecuador

The features that make these destinations desirable to those retiring, looking to move, make a property investment or visit, are the same features you will find in the land of Honduras.

This article made me want to get outta here and live a healthier, richer life!
