I will start today’s post with the same question as in yesterday’s post (Mexico Retirement \u00e2\u20ac\u201c The Health Benefits of Relaxation<\/a>): Have you ever wondered why despite being one of the most advanced countries in medical sciences, U.S. residences have so many health problems and such high medical bills?\u00c2\u00a0 Yesterday, we looked at relaxation; today we will consider another lifestyle factor in\u00c2\u00a0Mexico retirement<\/a> – physical activity, as well as some of the advantages of the healthcare available here.<\/p>\n

\"Retirement<\/a>
Exercise, that doesn't feel like exercise!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Outdoor Lifestyle & Physical Activity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besides the low cost of living, the top reason retirees choose\u00c2\u00a0Mexico real estate<\/a> is for its warm, sunny climate. Plenty of sunshine makes people feel happier and better about life.\u00c2\u00a0 It also makes people spend more time outside in contact with nature, enjoying clean, fresh air.<\/p>\n

When the weather is warm all year round, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that much easier to spend time walking on the beach, riding bike, jogging, playing sports, going swimming, diving and doing physical activity in general \u00e2\u20ac\u201c just about every day, all year round.\u00c2\u00a0 No one needs to be told about the benefits of an active, outdoor lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Fresh Food<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many health benefits to eating fresh fruit and vegetables, especially when they are grown nearby and have had more time to ripen on the plant in sunshine.\u00c2\u00a0 Mexico\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s climate makes good local produce available all year round.\u00c2\u00a0 Even \u00e2\u20ac\u0153street food\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and cafes offer fresh fruit bowls and natural smoothies.\u00c2\u00a0 Especially in the coastal areas (and even in many central areas) a variety of fresh seafood is available.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, all of this is at excellent prices.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easier to eat healthy when healthy food is so readily available.<\/p>\n

Fresh fruit and vegetables are readily available, and low priced!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Modern Health Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we will see later in this same kit, Mexico has modernized considerably over the past 2 decades.\u00c2\u00a0 For those who prefer to be indoors or find it easier to exercise if they have a routine schedule and place to do it, there are plenty of modern gyms, spas, yoga classes and similar services around.<\/p>\n

\"Playa<\/a>
Modern hospitals offer excellent, affordable service<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, even living the healthiest of lifestyles, we all get sick or need healthcare now and then.\u00c2\u00a0 Mexico also has excellent clinics and modern hospitals that offer state-of-the-art equipment, top-of-the-line, international quality service and very good prices (usually 50-70% lower than in the U.S.)<\/p>\n

Living in Mexico is good for people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s health in a variety of ways.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s daily relaxation as a way of life, more sunshine and outdoor activity, better health services or a combination of many factors, in most cases Americans and Canadians feel better and live healthier in Mexico.<\/p>\n
