WE KNEW IT!

Travel Keeps Us Young…

As It turns out, all the benefits of traveling add up to what many have been searching for - the fountain of youth. Researchers from different fields at Edith Cowan University (ECU) have used the theory of entropy to examine tourism and have found that traveling could slow down the aging process. Had they polled our audience, they likely would have arrived at this result quicker…
"Ageing, as a process, is irreversible. While it can't be stopped, it can be slowed down," ECU PhD candidate Ms. Fangli Hu said. Ms. Hu explains that going on trips could be a game-changer for our health. When we have positive experiences while traveling, it can help our body maintain a low-entropy state by regulating its major systems. Traveling exposes us to new environments and activities that can trigger stress responses and boost metabolic rates, which can have a positive impact on our body's functions. These new experiences may also kickstart an adaptive immune system response, making our body better at detecting and defending against outside threats. "Put simply, the self-defense system becomes more resilient. Hormones conducive to tissue repair and regeneration may be released and promote the self-healing system’s functioning."
Thanks to our friends at KKartagener Associates, Inc.for reminding us of one of the best benefits of travel!
