The joy of meeting new people and learning about their culture has also been missed, but did you know there are many hidden benefits of travel beyond the obvious?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Maybe you have been traveling recently, or perhaps you are waiting for the right moment to explore the world once again, either way in case you\u2019re undecided, we at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luxury Gold<\/a><\/strong> have put together some extra reasons for you to get back out on the road when you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n<h3>It is good for your heart<\/h3>\n<p>Travel is fun, that\u2019s for sure, however were you aware that it is scientifically proven to be good for your heart? Studies have shown that taking vacations can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, a real concern for many today. A study by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.escardio.org\/The-ESC\/Press-Office\/Press-releases\/Take-a-vacation-it-could-prolong-your-life\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Finnish researchers<\/a><\/strong> using data collected over a 40 year period showed that those who take their full holiday entitlement are significantly less likely to suffer a fatal heart attack. And a U.S Travel Association<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mauiresortrentals.com\/blog\/5-scientifically-proven-health-benefits-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> joint study<\/a><\/strong> concluded that women who vacation twice a year significantly reduced their risk of heart attack when compared to those who only traveled once every six years. The same study also concluded that men who don\u2019t take vacations at least once a year increased their risk of heart disease by 30% and their risk of death by 20%.<\/p>\n<h3>Travel improves your mental health and reduces stress levels<\/h3>\n<p>Travel is good for your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/nomanazish\/2018\/01\/22\/five-reasons-why-travel-is-good-for-your-mental-health\/?sh=6890bf065934\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mental health<\/a><\/strong> in numerous ways. It promotes happiness and helps you to take your mind off stressful situations, leading to lower cortisol levels, making you feel calmer and more content. Stepping into an unfamiliar environment among new people enables you to learn and adapt building resilience, ultimately making you more flexible, patient and emotionally strong. Plus taking a break from the daily hustle and bustle is essential for your mind to relax, recharge and rejuvenate. According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/take-vacations-for-stress-relief-overall-health-3145274\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one study<\/a><\/strong>, three days after taking a vacation, travelers report feeling less anxious, more rested and in a better mood, with these benefits lingering for weeks after the journey has ended.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7532\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7532\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Travel1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Travel1.png 760w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Travel1-300x216.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7532\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">La Alhambra complex, Granada, Andalusia, Spain<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Of course, we know the complexities of travel can be somewhat stressful, which is why we at Luxury Gold take care of every detail so you can just concentrate on having an amazing experience.
