Скачать или смотреть We Married Adventure: Travel and Your Health

Before we left for our year-long trip around the world, we took a hard look at what it would take for us to stay healthy while traveling to over 100 countries on all seven continents. Something we hadn’t really considered at that point but definitely learned along the way was just how much travel itself contributes to our good health.

In fact, travel is the best medicine. Did you know:

Traveling at least two times each year can improve your heart health and reduce depression?
After two vacation days, your stress levels drop by as much as 89%
After three vacation days, your sleep quality and mood improve
The health benefits of travel can last weeks — sometimes months — after a trip!
And beyond the benefits of travel itself are the physical and mental health benefits of trip planning. Science has proven that you derive greater pleasure from anticipating an upcoming trip than you do from material purchases, no matter how expensive they are. And planning a trip somewhere new sparks creativity and helps you develop problem-solving skills.
