Why Choose The Blue Zone For Your New Home in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is a wonderful place to retire but you may be able to enjoy more retirement years if you live in the Blue Zone of the Nicoya Peninsula.

Blue Zones are those where people live longer than normal, remaining active and enjoying life to the fullest long after people in other parts of the world have accepted a severely limited daily life.

Choosing to live in the Blue Zone will do more than increase your chances of an extended life span. You may not only live longer but you will enjoy those years physically and mentally.

One of the reasons why people are choosing to live on these zones is the natural environment. While enjoying modern conveniences they can get back to a simpler life in their diet, their activities, and their daily habits.

Living in a Blue Zone doesn’t automatically extend your life. There are environmental, spiritual, and emotional factors that the zone influences; living longer in a Blue Zone is more than drinking good water and breathing clean air.

It’s an attitude toward life that you may not have when you arrive but that instill itself into your very core as you spend your days among people with a positive attitude.

They trust in a higher power and are secure in the knowledge that whatever happens, whatever misfortunes might befall them, life is good and will continue to be so.

You will gradually absorb that attitude and it will help to allow you to live longer and happier.

The environmental factors of a Blue Zone are also important. The water of the Nicoya Peninsula is rich in the calcium and magnesium that the body needs for strong bones and healthy organs.

Having spent much of your adult life being told that hard water is something to be corrected, the adjustment may not be a simple one.

Hard water makes it difficult to clean dishes and clothing and is not gentle on the skin or hair. Those inconveniences will seem trite, however, as your body grows stronger and healthier and you find your stamina increased.

You will also appreciate eating fresh food that has not been exposed to chemicals like insecticides or genetically enhanced to increase yield.

Did you know that the wheat most of the world eats has been so genetically modified that it barely resembles the original plant?

Some scientists think that people are gaining weight despite their best efforts because our food has been so drastically changed and manipulated at the molecular level.

In a Blue Zone you will mostly be eating food that has grown naturally for thousands of years, nourishing your body with all of nature’s goodness.

One of the best reasons to live in a Blue Zone, however, is your own value. You will not be regarded as a person that has outlived their usefulness and is now a drain on society.

In a Blue Zone elders are valued for their wisdom and experience and are regarded as precious resources.

Whatever you choose as your work, even your play, will be appreciated and you will have a purpose in a community that respects you.

Choosing the Blue Zone in Costa Rica as your retirement home may not only extend your years but you will have a better quality of life than you would elsewhere.
