Puerto Vallarta offers savings on wellness practices, groceries, and medical tourism, as well as a quality of life rarely found elsewhere in the world to visitors of all ages and persuasion. This is why so many foreigners flock here year on year to enjoy healthy lifestyles in both the short and long term. Here are some of our top “staying young” tips for when you live in Puerto Vallarta;
Healthy Lifestyles in Puerto Vallarta
Enjoy the Ocean Water
Salt water is a great purifier for the skin, and in some parts of the world is an integral element of beauty regimes that focus on detoxification and the promotion of cell growth. This is why we recommend that you swim in the ocean as much as possible; this will help your skin, but swimming also offers great muscle training, and endorphin kick, and can even help to lower depression and anxiety for healthy lifestyle.
Eat fresh
In Puerto Vallarta you can find fresh fruits at low prices in every corner of the city; it is very easy to leave a market with a bag overflowing with such treats for under 5 dollars. While you’re here diversify your tastes; step away from the usual apples, oranges, and bananas to try exotic fruits like yaka, passion fruit, mangos, lychees, and guanabana.
Seafood
Fresh seafood, much like fresh fruit, is much cheaper in Puerto Vallarta than you might be used to. You can get the catch of the day right off the beach, too at Garza Blanca. Try eating it raw; Mexicans often marinate shellfish and fish in green lime juice, which is actually a cooking process. The result of this is utterly delicious ceviches and sashimis.
Active Lifestyle
Yoga, pilates, crossfit, beach boot camps, gyms, and even the municipal stadium; Puerto Vallarta boasts dozens of exercise venues for people of all tastes, fitness levels, and states of health. Whether you’re a gym bunny or you just like to take morning jogs you will find that Puerto Vallarta is a paradise for those looking to maintain or increase their fitness levels. Garza Blanca also offers its residences free use of the gym facilities and outdoor play and fitness center with tennis, basketball and squash courts.
Eco tourism
Eco tourism is big business in Puerto Vallarta, and we feel that getting closer to animals in their natural habitat is a way to wellness. This is an enlightening and enriching experience that lifts the spirits and can add years to your life. Try bird watching or hiking at Garza Blanca to get a feel of the wildlife that lives in your backyard.
