For a Better You in Puerto Vallarta
Wed. 2nd/Aug/2017.
The beauty and splendor of Mexico's beaches is well documented, but many travelers are unaware of the positive benefits of taking up long term residence in Puerto Vallarta. From health effects to seasonal advantages, the fact is that living in a high infrastructure beach town can have measurable effects on your overall well-being when compared to living environments common in other areas of North America.
Health
The human body is optimized to function at sea level, and as a coastal city Puerto Vallarta presents an idealized environment for many of your systems. Living at sea level substantially improves circulation levels and arterial pressure, delivering more efficient conversion to oxygen in the blood and possibly even helping to decrease the likelihood of cardiovascular difficulties.
The proximity of the ocean also creates relatively humid air in the region, helping to hydrate dryness-prone organs such as the lips, eyes and skin. Exposure to sunlight also sparks production of critical Vitamin D, and with over 270 days of brilliant sunshine during an average year, there's no shortage of opportunities to soak up the sun. However, very fair skinned individuals should take care to wear adequate sunblock when enjoying outdoor activities, as the UV rays can be relatively intense.
Diet
Fresh foods are another clear advantage that life in Puerto Vallarta presents. The city thrives on ingredients grown or produced within a radius of approximately 100 miles, with both restaurants and locally owned grocery stores stocking sustainably sourced meats, fruits, vegetables and spices. This not only produces the signature depth of flavor possessed by many local favorites, but also reduces or eliminates the additives and preservatives rampant in other food supplies.
Weather
The weather itself is also an attractive aspect that offers tangible effects on the human body. Warm temperatures can bring soothing relief to chronic pain, and the stable tropical climate in the area is an ideal environment for individuals afflicted with these conditions. Cold weather illnesses such as the flu are also much less prominent here, and establishments regularly provide a public supply of hand sanitizer to minimize any possible spread of infection from incoming tourists.
The diverse ecosystems characteristic of the city are another opportunity to explore long term self-improvement. A life on the shores of Puerto Vallarta affords long term visitors the opportunity to discover an array of active watersports such as surfing and paddleboarding as well as adventurous explorations of the untamed wilderness that surrounds this coastal retreat, such as hiking in the trails between the hidden beaches that dot the coastline south of the city.
Along with the invaluable exposure to individuals from all walks of life that comes with life in an international travel destination such as Puerto Vallarta, calling this beautiful area home can have a number of distinct effects on your lifestyle. The therapeutic nature of the Banderas Bay calls countless visitors to its friendly shores on a yearly basis, and some of the truly proactive find this special brand of healing worth staying for.
