Want to Retire In France? Provence Might Be The Place For You

Have you ever thought about where you’d like to live in when you’ve decided to retire from a successful career in medicine? Perhaps you’ve gone on a cruise like Healthy MD CME’s and thought that “Hey, this country looks like a great spot after retiring.”

France got what it takes to be a retirement haven. It’s hard not to fall in love with the country’s rich culture, delicious cuisine, and fantastic climate. Oh, and don’t forget their healthcare.

Provence, France

Only have your eyes set on Paris? But there’s far more to France than just its capital city! For many expats, one of the best places to retire can be found south, in sunny old Provence.

What’s There To Enjoy In Provence?

Comfortable Climate

Provence is well known for its generally sunny climate which is perfect if you want to do outdoor adventures any time of the year. The clear blue skies offer stunning views that have made artists like Van Gogh and Picasso flock to the area to paint.

Relaxed Lifestyle

One of the biggest draws of retiring in Provence is the way of life in this region. People like to take their time here and enjoy the beauty and attractions that the area has to offer, from historic towns and Roman ruins to mountain trails and warm beaches. But there’s never a dull moment in Provence either -- you’ll find music, art, and food and wine festivals wherever you go. Another plus is that Provence is quite close to Italy’s border, making it easier to travel to.

The Food

Provence is the home of world-famous dishes like bouillabaisse and ratatouille. Provencal recipes are much more Meditteranean-inspired -- closer to Italian cuisine than it is to Parisian fare. You’ll enjoy plenty of vegetables, seafood, herbs, cheeses, and olive oil here, plus the farmers’ markets are a joy to visit.

Bodybuilding with a Vegetarian Diet

Yes -- it’s possible. When you’re trying to build muscle, it’s important to keep yourself open with diet variety. As Keto diets and protein diets with (impulsive amounts of chicken breast) have taken over in recent years, however, vegetable and plant-based food merely turned into a chicken breast’s side dish or food primarily served with a saucy steak. The preassumptions about vegetables degraded its reputation for building muscle. The truth? You can build muscle and burn significant amounts of fat with plant-based meals alone. Healthy CME river cruises are one of the ways doctors relive and rejuvenate their bodies while earning their CME credits. Take a look on Healthy MD CME’s destinations this 2020 at www.HealthyMDCME.com   You don’t actually have to switch your diet to a full-blown plant-based diet. Reserving at least 70-80% in your daily meal portions to hearty vegetables is already a good start. Plus, it gives you that extra glow that you can’t get from meat inclusi...

Choose The Cruise For You: CME River or Ocean Cruise?

Image
Study and have a vacation at the same time! Your typical continuing medical education cruise, or CME cruise , usually has this as a slogan. CME cruises are one of the more unique ways to garner CME credits as they provide a sense of balance between studying and having fun. Cruises with medical experts on board are not hard to come by nowadays, but you’ll have to choose between an ocean cruise or a river cruise. Here are some differences that can help you determine which type of cruise is for you: I. Mingling Aplenty If you’re someone that loves to socialize then a river cruise is right up your alley. Although socialization is not forced on a river cruise, because you will be on a smaller cruise ship,  you’ll have plenty of opportunity to mingle with guests.

Besides socializing with your fellow physicians, you can even start a...

Promoting Healthy Living in Your Family

Image
Living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge especially for doctors with families who also work long hours. But that doesn’t give you the excuse to influence your family to live a mediocre lifestyle. As a doctor with the primary advocacy as a doctor to maintain health, it’s your role to promote healthy living and provide them the best care that they can receive. Your presence is you and your family’s advantage. Promoting Healthy Living with Your Partner The best way to influence your kids in the pursuit of healthy living is by encouraging your partner of the lifestyle. You don’t actually have to “sell” the idea to your partner. By eating healthy, exercising, and doing regular meditation/reflection, you give your partner the idea that this “so-called healthy living” is possible. Alternatively, you may also opt to challenge each other for 30 days to induce a positive pressure that encourages each partner to eat, move and think healthy. Incorporating Healthy Living with Fun A...
