Yes, it’s true–traveling makes you healthier!
According to a joint study from the Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association, women who vacation at least twice a year show a significantly lower risk of suffering a heart attack than those who only travel every six years or so.
Furthermore, traveling lowers your risk for depression. A study from the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin found that women who vacation at least twice a year are less likely to suffer from depression and chronic stress than women who vacation less than once every two years.
So there are clear, scientifically-backed health benefits of traveling the world. Mentally, physically and emotionally, you can gain a lot from packing your bags and visiting places you’ve never been.
BUT, before you book your next trip abroad–take a look at what else can be done to make sure your health is your number one priority!
Thank you for the well informative information. I did not know much of this; now I do and will utilize this for my next adventures this summer and so on.
