Traveling is good for the body and is one of the best things that you can do to cultivate a healthy lifestyle. No longer should travel be considered a luxury. If you want to live a long, happy, and productive life, travel has to be considered a priority.
Medical science and the testimonies of others are proving that regular travel helps your physical health, with many travelers saying that it’s also excellent for your soul and your spirit. As triune beings made in the image of God, cultivating a healthy lifestyle is more than just diet and exercise. Taking care of our mind, our will, and our emotions is vital, and being in environments that feed our spirit is truly what leads to a life filled with both passion and purpose.
Taking Care of our Bodies
We’ve all heard about the benefits of moving. Nothing like a well-planned vacation to get you out of the recliner or away from your desk. The more activity you do, the more you get your heart pumping. Remember that the heart is a muscle, and it needs to be worked at constantly to grow faster. You’ll also support your arteries, which means you reduce the risk of high cholesterol problems and elevated blood pressure.
The average person will spend over $10,000 per year on health care, yet when it comes to traveling, many will argue that they don’t have the money. When it comes to your health, can you really afford to say no to travel? Well, according to the Framingham Heart Study, people who don’t take vacation days for years are more likely to suffer from heart diseases than those who traveled frequently.
Forbes Magazine recently published a health and wellness article that had a collection of data that had been compiled by Dr. Mehmet Oz. This information reveals that traveling for pleasure affects your well-being in a variety of areas.
- Taking vacations can lower men’s risk of death by 21 percent and mortality from cardiovascular disease by 32 percent.
- Among women, a lack of vacation is associated with a higher risk of heart disease and death from heart disease.
- Women who go on trips more frequently are less likely to become tense, depressed or tired and are happier with their marriages.
- Vacationing improves your mood and reduces stress. It also can temporarily help boost productivity.
- People who travel more frequently are more satisfied with their physical health and well-being.
- Vacationing can increase creativity.
Want a healthy heart? Want to promote a healthy lifestyle? How about a better mindset? Start planning your next vacation and go see the world.
