Vilcabamba

Lifestyle in Vilcabamba, Ecuador
High in the mountains of south-central Ecuador, it is often said to be one of the healthiest places in the world to live. In fact, the valley of Vilcabamba is often referred to as the “Valley of Longevity.” That's because people here routinely live into their 90s and 100s.

Beautiful place !!

"Our theory is that the local sugarcane liquor—distilled in most every cane field—is toxic to germs and viruses if you drink enough of it."

Reminds of the liquor caribbeans drink ,who often reach a hundred years or more as well. The liquor is high in policosanol!!

Policosanol Is Antiviral And A Potent Inducer Of Anti-aging Gene Klotho

This post is a good complement to the recent ones I did on androgens, estrogens and their opposing effects on the expression of the anti-aging gene Klotho. While I was doing research on that gene, I had a "random" thought pop up in my mind. It is well-known that some Caribbean countries have a...

or, you know, living at high altitude, nice food and friendly people, barely any EMF, less toxicity in every aspect of life. but they say it's probably the liquor? seriously?

That definitely plays a role ,just as the liquor , since there's proably a good amount of policosanol in there .

i dreamed of retiring there but that seems impossible now, with all the lockdowns and ban of travel. I want my life back.

 

[koky]

is travel to ecuador banned?

 

[theloge]

is travel to ecuador banned?

no, but you do have to have a negative test. People are still travelling there

 

[koky]

no test - who asks?

 

[ecstatichamster]

Personally I didn’t like Ecuador. Poor services, so-so food, not the safest. Many issues. To me with all due respect it is awful. Different strokes...

 

[koky]

been to Vilcabamba?

 

[Sullytex]

I'm eyeing LaPaz, Bolivia, myself.

A cardiologist friend mentioned that smaller people tend to have less stress on the heart and tend to live longer. In checking the heights of people in Ecuador, we find listed here, on Wikipedia, men and women looking pretty short. That would be another consideration. Marie Calment was, I think, less than 5ft tall. Just saying there are a few parameters to consider besides location.

Men on left, women on right. These figures are for Equador. You can see the people are smaller there.

167.1 cm (5 ft 6 in)

154.2 cm (5 ft 1⁄2 in)

Smaller people tend to have more heart problems than taller people. That's false.
Taller people on the other side have more cancer probability.

What we had discussed was that the heart didn't need to pump as much for a small body as it did for a larger body. I was a little concerned since my daughter is almost 6ft tall. But all these things are tendencies.

Ecuador requires the vaccine to enter last I checked. Unless you have medical exemption.

Making a living in Ecuador isn't easy. It's the poorest country in South America for a reason. I met a few gringos there who started a business and made good money. If you're successful expect to live behind walls and barb wire in a gated community. Roads have been falling apart since the 50's.

Vilcabamba in particular?
