In
our country, on the subject of health we
refer to the Taínos, who left evidence
that they settled in this island – that
they also called bohio – because they
found no hostility from nature, and the
mild climate invited them to stay.
As
a current source, we shall mention the
conclusions reached through research
carried out by technical commissions and
the World Health Organization, which have
not changed much from the past century to
this day.
Most emphasize repeatedly that:
“The average term of public health and
life expectancy is equal, if not better,
than that obtained as a whole in the United
States.
“In
all circumstances, and judiciously choosing
the locality, it is possible to enjoy a
delightful climate where one rarely
encounters either lung diseases, scarlet
fever, or other feared diseases of the
northern countries and without risk of
yellow fever”.
