Florida - The Fountain of Youth
No snow to shovel and a lower cost of living in Florida provides a less stressful life during retirement. Sunny days, warm tropical weather and 825 miles of gorgeous beaches are natural amenities adding to our longevity in the best beach retirement communities. Flip flops and bathing suits replace boots and wool jackets as daily wear. Florida is nicknamed the Funshine State because living in this state is darn fun and is hardly the land of couch potato’s.
Between the tourist attractions, beautiful state parks and endless water sports, Florida has always been one of the best states to retire in the Southeast. Long summer days make the days feel endless. No matter what hobby you enjoy, be it golf, scuba diving Florida’s coral reefs, offshore deep sea fishing or a heated match of tennis, you will find Floridians of all ages are always busy having fun. Now with casinos creeping their way into the state, the night life in Florida continues to become more exciting. Florida is the gateway to the Bahama’s and Caribbean Islands. For less than $50 and in less than 50 minutes, you can be walking on more unspoiled beaches in the Bahama’s. And one day soon, Cuba will welcome US travelers.
Like Californians, you will find most Floridians are health conscious folks watching their weight and may be dabbling into Botox. We'll probably take a little heat for this next comment but we believe it to be true, generally speaking. If you don’t believe Florida is truly the fountain of youth, then take a look at two people the same age; one who has lived in Florida for 20 years and one who has lived in the midwest for 20 years. Assuming the Floridian didn’t bake themselves in the sun all day, our bet is the Floridian will look remarkably younger. Why? Possibly because the humidity moisturizes the skin and hydrates the body. You will be surprised at how quickly you can adapt to humidity. Whatever your age, it’s not too late to enjoy health benefits from living in Florida at any of the best beach retirement communities. The peer pressure here in Florida to look good is a good thing, keeping us on our toes.
