Have you ever thought about getting away from it all and going on a colossal detox mission? There is a lot to be said for giving your body a rest from all the pollution, smoke, noise, fast-paced lifestyle and stress and the substances that we use to handle that stress like alcohol, tobacco, coffee and worse. It is not so bad while your body is young, but as it gets older, it becomes less capable of countering all the stuff we give it to handle.

Costa Rica might sound like a long way to go to visit a spa or health resort, but it is only a flight away. The reason for selecting Costa Rica is because it is like a home from home for Americans, yet the ambiance is a lot slower and more easy-going. There are lots of health spas and retreats to choose from in Costa Rica and a brief search on the Internet will reveal many of them.

Spanish is the main local language, but English is spoken by more than ten percent of the adult populace and tourist facilities are well developed in the form of exchanging currencies, restaurants and hotels. The country is clean and environmentally friendly.

For example, according to Wikipedia, Costa Rica is ranked third in the world and first among the Americas in terms of the 2010 Environmental Performance Index and in 2007, the government announced that it intended for Costa Rica to be the first carbon neutral country by 2021. Furthermore, the Happy Planet Index ranks Costa Rica as number one in the world and also as the "greenest country in the world".

Where better could you go to escape pollution and stress than a health spa or retreat in such a country? Lots of the resorts offer stress diminishing schemes that include methods of relaxation such as yoga, meditation, reiki, massage and tai-chi, although there are lots of places offering water sports such as diving, sailing and surfing. There is fantastic diving to be had in warm, clear water, which is alive with flora and fauna.

Prices are low when likened with the United States. You can find a! hotel or a room in a retreat for - and up and a decent meal will cost -. There are all kinds of food but particularly the types of food associated with Spanish and American cooking. Vegetarians are well catered for too but there is fish and other seafood in profusion for those who rather it to meat.

Some of the health spa resorts have rooms for you to stay in whilst others offer just day time courses. The retreat style resorts are live-in and some resemble communes. The facilities vary from being 'hippyish' and pretty basic in some of the retreats to being as modern as anywhere in the world in the health spas, offering swimming pools, gymnasiums and hot tub spas.

All in all, if you are considering going abroad for a healthy, restful break, a vacation in Costa Rica should be on your short list.
