SPONSORED CONTENT: A lot of people want to travel, and many people take the opportunity to do so. People like Charles Nucci, for instance, have traveled the world. Some people say that whether or not you travel is simply a matter of choice, whether you like it or not, in other words. However, it is now known that there are actually significant health benefits to traveling, and those may convince you to get a passport and book your next flight (although you can travel domestically as well).
- Exposure to Different Environments Is Good for Your Health
When you travel to different places, you will be exposed to new environments, with different pollutants, bacteria, natural pollen, and more. This means that your immune system will be significantly boosted, strengthening your antibodies.
- Traveling Reduces Stress
A lot of people will say that traveling is hugely stressful. In reality, however, that is only the airport experience. Being in foreign countries or locations and experiencing new things is very relaxing. Add to this that most people travel for vacations, and the relaxing element becomes even clearer.
- Your Brain Health Improves
When you travel, you meet new people, you hear new languages, and you experience new cultures. All of those things are good for your brain health. Numerous studies have also shown that travelers have greater emotional stability and are more open.
- You Lower Your Chance of Heart Disease
It is believed that this is mainly linked to the fact that traveling reduces stress. Various studies have shown that men and women alike are less likely to suffer from heart disease or even heart attacks if they travel more.
- Traveling Builds Your Fitness
When you travel, you move. You may think that you spend endless hours lazing by the pool, but all those trips backwards and forwards between your room, the water, the sun lounger, the restaurant, and the bar, soon add up. Plus, most people who visit new places do actually explore and that is usually done on foot.
- You Can Travel to Places that Heal
If you’re short on ideas on where to go for your next travel, why not consider a Turkish mud bath? Or a dip in the Dead Sea? Or a thermal bath in Iceland? There are lots of different places that are beautiful, interesting, and really good for your health.
- People Who Travel Live Longer
It is likely that the fact that people who travel live longer is down to the other benefits as described above. If you are less susceptible to diseases, fitter, more relaxed, and with greater brain health, it stands to reason that your life expectancy will also be higher. Either way, various pieces of research have clearly demonstrated that those who travel (domestically and internationally, by the way) live longer than those who don’t. And let’s not forget that people who travel tend to have a lot more fun, and fun is surely the key to a happy life.
