Singapore 新加坡
With broad access to the country's state-of-the-art medical facilities and what's been called a 'miracle' healthcare system, Singaporeans are living longer than ever at an average of 83.1 years old. The country has one of the lowest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world, and makes preventative care a focus of its healthcare.
新加坡人能广泛享受到先进的医疗设施和被称为"奇迹"的医疗体系,平均寿命为83.1岁,比以往任何时候都要长.这里的孕产妇和婴儿死亡率全球最低,预防性治疗是该国医疗的重点.
The culture and accessible urban environment also contributes to a longer life. "You will see a lot of people going to gyms or exercising in the public parks, which are plentiful," said Bino Chua, a current resident and travel blogger at I Wander. The country even recently opened its first therapeutic park, designed to reduce stress and improve mental wellbeing among aging adults.
文化环境和亲近的城市环境也有助于延长居民寿命.新加坡居民、I Wander旅游博主蔡比诺说,"你会看到很多人去健身房,或者在公园锻炼身体,这里的健身房和公园非常多."最近这里还开放了第一个治疗公园,以减轻老年人的压力,改善他们的心理健康.
Health-averse habits are also harder to maintain in Singapore. "Expats should know that 'vices' are a lot more expensive here," said Chau. "Cigarettes and alcohol are heavily taxed and cost a lot more than in other countries."
在新加坡,不健康的习惯也很难维持.比诺说,"移居这里的外国人应该知道,这里保持'恶习'的代价很高.政府对香烟和酒精征收重税,所以价格比其他国家要高得多."
Switzerland 瑞士
Men fare better in Switzerland than anywhere else in the world, living to be 81 on average. As one of Europe's wealthiest countries, access to high-quality healthcare, strong personal safety and sense of wellbeing contributes to the high rank – with some studies even pointing to the country's high intake of cheese and dairy as a leading factor.
瑞士人的生活比世界上任何地方都好,平均寿命为81岁.瑞士是欧洲最富裕的国家之一、医疗保健质量高、个人安全意识强、人们幸福感较高,这些都有助于这里的人保持长寿.一些研究还指出,瑞士人大量摄入奶酪和奶制品也是长寿的主要因素之一.
Though the country can be very career focused with many expats moving for work at one of the country's many international headquarters, its central location makes it easy to balance frequent relaxing escapes. "It's a career pinnacle, location-wise," said Gatti, who has also lived in Switzerland. "Living here allows for wonderful weekend trips all over the continent and to spend time outdoors in the enchanting Alps." The private schools are also some of the "best on the planet," he added, which makes it appealing to young families.
虽然瑞士人事业心很强,有许多外国人移居到瑞士在众多国际总部工作,但其处于欧洲中部的地理位置也让人们很容易外出度假放松.曾居住在瑞士的加蒂说,"这里是人们事业的巅峰,而且位置优越.居住在瑞士,周末你就可以环游欧洲大陆,还可以去迷人的阿尔卑斯山旅游."他还说,这里还有"全球最好的"私立学校,因此对年轻家庭很有吸引力.
South Korea 韩国
South Korea is set to be the first country to hit a life expectancy of 90 years according to recent research, which credits a strong and growing economy, broad access to healthcare and lower blood pressure than Western countries for its upward trajectory.
根据最近的研究,韩国将成为第一个预期寿命达到90岁的国家,这归功于韩国经济增长强劲,人们广泛享受到良好的医疗条件,居民血压低于西方国家,因此人均寿命一直在上升.
The country also has a diet rich in fermented foods, which are said to lower cholesterol, boost immunity and inhibit cancer. "As a whole, Korean food is high in fibre and nutrient-dense," Hoheb said.
韩国饮食富含发酵食品,据称可以降低胆固醇,提高免疫力,抑制癌症.全球养生旅游创始人霍希伯说,"总体而言,韩国食品富含纤维,营养丰富."
Residents say a cultural focus on community and the associated traditions contributes to the everyday quality of life here. "The Jimjilbang (public bathhouse) brings together people to recreate, to socialise and to help reduce stress," said Camille Hoheb, founder of Wellness Tourism Worldwide. "In South Korea, there's also an overall sense of mindfulness that comes with the Buddhist mindset and an overall attitude toward a culture of cooperation versus individualism."
当地居民表示,重视社区和相关传统的文化氛围有助于提高这里的日常生活质量.卡米尔•霍希伯说,"韩国汗蒸馆（公共澡堂）让人们齐聚一堂,消遣,社交,有助于减轻压力.总体来看,韩国人有一种来自佛教思维的正念意识,和注重合作并反对个人主义的心态."
