1. Also, theres been a correlation with coffee and long living humans, and it’s no coincidence that both Italy and Costa Rica are known for the coffee culture, In costa rica you start your day with a big mug of volcanic grown coffee, then after lunch you drink your ol cup of coffee, and in the evening you get your merienda with another cup of coffee.
   I’m in pretty bad shape right now, 0 excercise, 0 medical check ups, but i do drink my 5 cups of coffee a day and im doing fine for now, i hope i get to live for 100 years more, ill comment on this video if that happens 😀

2. Im Costa Rican American im expecting a long life_

3. Your documentaries are narrative and much more scientific within an attractive
   stylish voice of differentiated tone 👌.
   People can learn easily and be benificient
   themselves for a better longer life. Thanks 😊 again.

4. very good

5. Pura vida

6. I think that Costa Rican life, especially in the countryside, is full of nature, harmony, peace, quiet, and zero stress. Also, one has to stay active working in farms, nurseries, walking, eating naturally, eating basic non processed foods, getting healthy fresh air daily, climbing cloudy rainforest mountains, listening to the calls of domestic and wild animals, going to the river, going to the beach, walking long distances to the bus stop, etc helps a lot.

7. Wow! The centenarians of Costa Rica are awesome. Centenarians of Japan get to be so by practicing good eating habits, exercising and practice other good habits. Wishing the Costa Rican’s continued longevity.

8. Amazing people, a century or more, blessed a long life, for the respect of Nature and people around and their own life. Thanks for sharing.

9. Alzheimer’s might be the diagnosis, but not always the case. Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus gives the same symptoms as Alzheimer’s, but according to Dr. Gary Yarbrough M.D. “Office Calls,” NPH can be cured.

10. My beautiful country ♡

11. The test are not really fair because the elderly people in Costa Rica, in many cases were expected to drop out of school at a very young age, to work and to support their family’s. So the people who were never educated, can’t be expected to now take a test, and to pass said tests.

12. Interesting facts to analyze:

    In 2019, life-expectancy in Costa Rica at birth was 80,8 years.
    In 2019, life-expectancy in United States at birth was 78,5 years.

    At that time, spending on public health was less than 6% of Costa Rica’s GDP (PIB).
    At that time, spending on public health was 17% of United States’ GDP (PIB).

    At the same time, Costa Rican state has a primary role in the healthcare logistics, so is accecsible.
    At the same time, in United States free-market has a primary role in the healthcare logistics, so you can get bankruptcy.

    Conclusion: some services are essential and shouldn’t be ruled as business.

13. You might have long life but everyone has to died do you know where you are going God wants everyone to go to heaven and ask jesus into your heart and you will go to heaven when you die here are the words of salvation please forgive me jesus im a sinner come into my heart and save me from my sin I no that you are the savior and I no that you died for me on calvary and I no that God raise you from the dead and you are alive and I thankyou for your salvation in Jesus holy name amen and its important to always ask for forgiveness every night so your always right standing with the lord please give these words to someone

14. My grandmother is 108 years old and she looks verry good 🙂

15. Food they eat and the work they do is what lead to their long life. Now with all the foods now a days. Your lucky if you ever reach 60 or more

16. Im 7 minutes in and he just said that no single factor would affect life expectancy this significantly.
    I’d still like to make some guesses on what those long-livers did. My guesses are eat good (quality food) and move regularly (garden work, walks or sth). Maybe it’s also that they don’t have additional stress through social media cause it didn’t exist for most if their lifetime and when it came out they were already old and maybe didn’t sign up for it.

17. My grandmother lived to four months shy of 110. Absolutely no senility or dementia. She was of English descent, born and raised in Ohio. Moved to Florida at age 93.

18. Thanks NEWSGODNEWSBOSSinvisible

40. When I first came to Costa Rica in the late 80s, it was unusual to see a fat person and fast food was non-existent. That’s all changed now. Obese people are common place and fast food franchises are everywhere. Now with Uber Eats, you don’t even have to leave the house to get bad food. Its a pity.

41. Please send me a text so I can talk to the tour guide thanks

42. Thanks NEWSGODNEWSBOSS INVISIBLE INVINCIBLE IMMORTAL
