Feel Better, Look Younger, Live Longer…

Americans distracted by the health-care debate at home probably didn’t notice when 400,000 of their fellow citizens picked up their passports and left the country to seek treatment. That’s the number who travel for care annually. And with reason.

As Josef Woodman reports on page 14 of IL June magazine issue, nearly every standard medical procedure is available overseas today. And—depending upon the country and the type of treatment—you can save anywhere from 15% to 85% by getting care outside the U.S.

Every day we get letters from readers asking about health care, health insurance and healthy destinations overseas. So throughout the current issue of International Living magazine, we answer your questions. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.

For instance, studies show that optimism and purpose, a low stress level, a natural diet and an active lifestyle are three times as important as your genetic makeup when it comes to enjoying a long and healthy life.

Good news is: Even the most curmudgeonly, fast-food addicted soul will find those admirable habits easy to fall into in our picks for the world’s healthiest places to live. Starting on page 20, you’ll find a collection of destinations all around the world, where you’re likely to feel better, look younger and live longer.

Read all this and more in the June issue when you subscribe to IL magazine right now.
