TRAVEL MORE OFTEN: THE BENEFITS TRAVELING HAS ON YOUR MIND, BODY, SPIRIT AND LIFESTYLE

All throughout the news, we see the encouragement from different stations regarding the perks, benefits and different reasons why you should travel abroad. There are many beautiful places to see and great interesting things to learn about.

In a recent study posted by NBC News, they listed five scientifically proven health benefits of traveling abroad and why it is encouraged. In this article, there was a joint study between the Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. They stated that travel makes you healthier. The study found that a woman who vacations twice a year at most show a significantly lower risk of suffering a heart attack than a woman who travel only about every 6 years. This is also true for men. Men who do not take an annual vacation show a 20 percent higher risk of death and a 30 percent greater risk of heart disease.

5 reasons traveling abroad is seriously good for your health

When was the last time you traveled abroad? Traveling for business is one thing, but I'm talking about packing your bags, logging out of your email account and disconnecting from your normal routine for a week or more.




 In a recent article posted by Forbes, according to the US Travel Association, staying active and traveling through life has physical, cognitive and social benefits that lead to a healthier aging process. Even if you aren’t so active, traveling offers you the opportunity to discover new things that may interest you and change your perspective. While on vacation, it is very common that families go on long walks together, whether it be down the beach or up a mountain, it gives the opportunity to be healthy. They increase their heart rate by swimming in the pool or ocean or even taking an offered class by the resort in the morning.

            Hotels and resorts are now encouraging personal fitness while traveling. The Hyatt Hotels and Resorts have recently launched a program called STAYFIT@HYATT. This program is for guests who want to stay fit during their stay. There is high quality cardio and strength-training equipment involved, a fitness concierge and even a YogaAway™ Curriculum Encourage “Survival of the Fittest” on the road provided for the guests.

News Releases

Hyatt Hotels & Resorts today announced StayFit@Hyatt -a dynamic selection of workout programs that cater to fitness-conscious business and leisure travelers staying at Hyatt Hotels & Resorts across North America and the Caribbean. Throughout Hyatt's upscale hotels, travelers can expect the latest in cardio and strength equipment, exercise programs, and knowledgeable support staff on-site.



While traveling, it is important to branch out and learn about the people around you. Who they are, what they do and what they are about. In a YouTube video called “3 Reasons on Why Traveling Abroad Will Have A Huge Impact On Your Life” by STAMPABOUT, Jake talks about how culture is the number one reason to travel abroad. He says,

“We learn how people live and work and have fun and we become more open-minded and we have a broader perspective so that when we come back home, we’re less judgmental and more understanding of the people around us which fill us with more love than hate allowing us to live a happier life.”

            It is important to respect instead of judge different cultures, because learning to appreciate them not only expands your mind, but your willingness to search deeper into your travels.

ABOUT ME

Image
If you love to travel or want to grow a passion for traveling, you’ve found the right place. Near or far, there are always amazing places to visit, wonderful people to meet and extremely mouthwatering food to eat. I have been traveling for as long as I can remember and it has opened up my mind to respect other cultures, traditions and values that other people have around the world. If you love to travel with your family, search no further.  Growing up, my mom always made sure wherever we went we were learning. When I was younger, I thought the educational tours and landmarks were boring; however, now that I am older, I have grown an appreciation for her and the fact that she turned everything into a learning experience. I’ve visited many countries and also many parts of the US. I think traveling to different places not only takes you out of the everyday rush, but allows you to step out of your comfort zone and really appreciate what life has to offer. I am currently a senior at
