Shape Magazine reports on the research of Dan Buettner in a recent article that the 6 reasons people live longer in Costa Rica are:
1. They laugh out loud and this laughter lowers the risk of coronary disease.
2. They make exercise a "no-brainer". Long walks and other low intensity exercises are interwoven into the daily routine.
3. They use smart eating strategies, focusing on the food, eating more slowly, consuming less and enjoying flavors and textures more.
4. They grab their nutcrackers - eating nuts regularly and lowering the risk of hear disease.
5. They are choosy with their circle of friends and this reinforces their lifestyle
6. They live with intention: In Costa Rica it's called plan de vida.
