I was wondering how many of you go to warmer climates for the winter?
I used to spend most winters away in FL with relatives when I was growing up. Not really for health reasons but bc I was invited to be w family. But the funny thing is looking back I never got sick in the winter and rarely got colds. It could have been youth too.
Me and hubby are thinking of buying a fixer upper home in the FL keys. We go there every year to stay at my sisters house and it is the best break from the winter. Every year my tolerance for cold gets worse and worse and I can barely be outside.
I recently had a doc appt and my pfts went from 73 down to 53....there is no infection present, xray and mri looked improved from last time. The docs felt it was purely asthmatic.
At the end of every winter I seem to get very sick even with compliance, and tuneups.
For people that do this, what benefits have you noticed?
Do you think that there's a link between, for lack of a better phrase...'living longer' or improved lung function and being in a warmer climate?
