Traveling can slow down aging. A new study proves this. According to researchers at Edith Cowan University, holidays have positive effects on the body and mind.
A new study shows that traveling can slow down the aging process. Research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Australia highlights the positive impact travel has on physical and mental wellbeing. This is what “Watson” reported.
Vacations have a positive impact on your metabolism
According to “Watson,” doctoral student Fangli Hu explains that while traveling cannot stop the aging process, it can slow it down. He explained that activities such as hiking or climbing stimulate metabolism and strengthen the immune system. “Hormones can be released that promote tissue repair and regeneration,” Hu said.
According to Hu, relaxing while on holiday can also help relieve chronic stress and maintain metabolic balance.
However, “Watson” also emphasized that traveling does not only have positive effects. Infectious diseases, accidents and food shortages can also occur. However, according to research, the health benefits of traveling outweigh the negative impacts. Watson highlighted that wellness tourism and yoga are very beneficial.
