Re: "hot countries" It could be that living in a hot country is really good for your health. For a guy like me who grew up in a cool place it takes a long time to get used to living in the deep tropics, some never do but I like it myself. You sweat a lot and that removes lots of salt and toxins, lowering your blood pressure and easing the load on your kidneys and other internal organs. In the deep tropics you sweat a light sweat constantly, even in your sleep and it really does lower your blood pressure. And like you say, maybe you don't eat as much and tend to eat more fruit and light foods. Retire to the tropics, elmat. <G>

Another thing is that close to the equator yearly changes and much reduced, in some places to none at all, except for maybe a dry season and a rainy season. The length of the day is the same year round. There are no thermometers anywhere because there is no need; the temperature is always the same. You body just gets used to this over time.

I have read that generations ago when there were lots of Brits working in the colonies for the colonial service that retirement and a return to England usually meant a quick death, often in the first English winter.
