Women
Live
Longer
Than
Men
in
Costa
Rica
Average
life
expectancy
in
Costa
Rica
is
77,
however
women
have
historically
had
an
advantage
over
men
in
terms
of
this
average.

Studies
have
shown
that
men
reach
an
average
age
of
75
while
women
reach
80.
However
women
could
see
a
reduction
due
to
their
bad
health
habits,
as
they
lifestyles
could
mean
a
reduction
in
the
average
age.
Self-care
specialists
say
women
must
exercise
more,
have
a
healthy
diet
and
reduce
stress
to
maintain
the
high
average.
Remember,
taking
care
of
oneself
not
need
much
money
or
much
time,
just
a
conscious
effort
to
include
some
form
of
physical
exercise
in
one's
daily
habits
and
eat
healthy,
that
means
cutting
down
or
cutting
out
junk
and
take
out
foods.
