Well being points grew to become a nagging
drawback when my husband and I RVed full-time. 
Cardiovascular issues plagued Invoice whereas gastrointestinal and different
stress-related situations hounded me.  Mesmerized
by America’s magnificence, we have been all the time on the go, forgetting to maintain match. We must always
have paid extra consideration to it in three areas: train, meals consumption, and
healthcare.

 Common Train

Earlier than our RV cruising days, we went
to the health club frequently. Nevertheless, campground health amenities proved
inconsistent once we began our cross-continent runs. We thought climbing would
be our major routine, however many occasions hordes of mosquitoes feasted on us! And it was
both too chilly or too scorching. And, even when sightseeing meant loads of strolling,
it was solely strolling.

 Over time, we discovered that we simply had
to do not less than two of the next or undergo the implications. When Fitbits
grew to become well-liked, we aimed to do not less than 6,000 steps a day.

 1.      Play a sport for not less than half-hour 5
occasions every week. Select from out there amenities: desk tennis, billiards,
mini-golf, golf, tennis, and pickleball. Or dance!

 3.       Train for not less than half-hour, 5
occasions every week, health club or no health club. YouTube affords many train movies. We like
Jennifer McClendon.

 2.       Stroll for half-hour not less than 5 occasions
every week after dinner.

 Wholesome Meals Consumption

 Throughout our early cruising days in our
smaller RV, we’d minimize up numerous veggies and fruits and have nuts out there
for snacking on, with numerous water to clean them down, whereas we moved from
place to position. After we settled at campgrounds longer, nesting in a much bigger RV,
we started to prepare dinner extra meals. Loving to attempt native delicacies, we succumbed to heartier
consuming.

 When the Blue Zones grew to become well-known, we went right into a modified Longevity Weight loss program: extra greens, legumes, nuts,
complete grains, and fruits, frequently including fish and seafood, and sometimes, hen,
pork, or beef. We needed to make the next guidelines:

 1.       Eat one large meal a day, ideally
lunch, and two different small ones or simply two common meals, late breakfast and
early dinner.

 2.       Graze all through the day with mild
morning, afternoon, and night snacks, reminiscent of nuts, fruits, or greens.

 3.       Eat out occasionally, ideally solely
throughout an event for celebration, and compensate with smaller meals the remaining
of the day once we do.

 As well as, we found two novel
methods of skipping a meal not less than as soon as every week. One is to have a popcorn lunch
whereas watching a film within the theater. The opposite is to lunch with free Costco meals
samples once we store for provides.

 After we began to journey the world after
our RVing part, we stayed in our timeshare models. They all the time have kitchens,
enabling buying at native groceries, the place there are various goodies we don’t
discover in shops again house, and cooking new and thrilling native fare.

 Starting in 2019, we transformed our
El Cid timeshares in Mexico to be all-inclusive. As an alternative of encouraging us to
eat extra, we grew to become good and upped our resolve with buffets’ considerable seafood,
vegetable, and fruit decisions.   

 Preventive Healthcare

 In the beginning of our full-time
RVing, we forgot about preventive healthcare. Later we grew to become snowbirds and settled
our RV in Phoenix each winter. It was the neatest choice we ever made.
There’s wonderful take care of seniors due to the excessive inhabitants of retired
and visiting seniors. Arizona ranks #15 among the many 50 states when it comes to aged
care. It is among the causes we selected to settle right here completely. We discovered an
wonderful household physician who retains observe of normal screens and refers us to the
greatest specialists wanted.

 We journey much less now however the habits we
shaped have stayed with us. With common train, wholesome meals consumption, and constant
preventive healthcare, we look ahead to some journey, even previous our 70s and
80s.
