sorry fred , you're SO off base!

Pobrecito's don't have a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Applebee’s and Wal-Mart to enrich their lives, boo hoo!

But,

"Costa Rica enjoys a higher life expectancy than many developed countries despite spending just 15% of what America does on health care. The Caribbean nation owes some of its longevity to its economic security and excellent health care. But one region of Costa Rica boasts especially long lifespans.

Nicoya, an 80-mile peninsula just south of the Nicaraguan border, is an exception within an exceptional country. The goal of our expedition: determine what gives Nicoyans that extra push to reach 100 at even higher rates than the rest of Costa Rica.

Faith and family play a strong role in Nicoyan culture. So does plan de vida, or reason to live, which helps Nicoyan elders maintain a positive outlook and active lifestyle. Nicoyans eat little to no processed foods but plenty of antioxidant-rich tropical fruit. But they also have one unique secret: calcium and magnesium rich water, which wards off heard disease and promotes strong bones."
