Kyle Dennis of Nashville, Tennessee talks about the many health benefits of traveling.

1. THE HEALTH
BENEFITS OF
TRAVEL
Kyle Dennis

2. INTRODUCTION
It has long been said that
travel is good for the soul;
now, science is showing
that travel is good for the
body as well. Traveling
involves new experiences,
new excursions, and new
environments. Whether
the intrepid traveler is
alone or with a group of
like-minded individuals,
these new exposures
have a lasting impact on
both body and mind.

3. Travel Encourages Fitness
While travel often involves sitting for endless hours in a
series of vehicles of various persuasions, it also involves a
good deal of footwork. Travelers tend to want to see
everything in the new locale; this is why the vehicles were
endured in the first place.

4. Travel Reduces Stress
Experienced travelers will not be
surprised to hear that travel tackles
stress levels and brings them down.
Science has shown that travel
increases happiness and decreases
depression. One study showed that
even a few days upon returning
from travel, travelers felt less
anxious, well-rested, and in a more
positive mood.

5. Travel Improves
Brain Health
New experiences also cause
an increase in cognitive
flexibility, which keeps the
mind sharp. Studies have
also shown a connection
that exists between travel
and creative increases,
personal growth, and
deeper awareness culturally.
Travelers and those who
study abroad also are prone
to be more open and more
emotionally stable.

6. Because travel exposes its participants to new and different
environments, the body is encouraged to create stronger antibodies. This
creates a significant boost to the immune system. Antibodies are those
tiny proteins protecting the immune system from those pathogens
which are harmful. Research shows that exposure to minor illnesses and a
bit of dirt keep the body and gut at a stronger level.
