Expats Claim "Bulgaria Effect" Leads to Dramatic Health Improvements
The Bulgaria Effect: Expats Report Health Transformations After Moving to the Balkans A recent social media post by "The Phoenix Project " has sparked a discussion about the unexpected health benefits experienced by expatriates living in Bulgaria. The video creator, who moved to rural Bulgaria with her family, shared a striking "before and after" comparison, revealing a significant improvement in her skin condition and overall appearance since her relocation two years ago. "I've only just noticed how unwell I looked when looking back on old photos and videos," the content creator stated in her video, which features images of her with noticeably inflamed skin contrasted with her current clear complexion. She attributes these positive changes to "The Bulgaria effect," suggesting a profound impact on her overall health. The video has resonated with a wide audience, drawing numerous comments from individuals who share similar experiences. One commenter noted, "let me guess... you moved to Bulgaria, a small town or maybe a village, you now grow most of your food and the rest you buy from local producers. Reduced stress and healthy diet will do this." Another user, living in Canada but originally from Bulgaria, corroborated the phenomenon: "In Canada, my skin problems such as acne and skin inflammation are very bad. But the moment I step in Bulgaria in summer, I get the clearest skin ever in just days." Common themes emerging from the comments include the quality of local food, increased exposure to vitamin D from the sun, a less stressful lifestyle, and purer water. Many believe that the "Balkan way of life" contributes to these health improvements, suggesting a broader regional phenomenon rather than one exclusive to Bulgaria. While the video focuses on personal experience, it highlights a growing anecdotal trend among those who have chosen to relocate to the region.
