Travel Ideas For The Health Nut In You
Daniel Dohman looks at the options for those who like a healthy holiday.
If you are all about your health and it is something that is on your mind all the time, it makes sense that your travel plans will revolve around it as well. There are plenty of options when considering a healthy holiday from ocean to ocean.
Take a Trip To Thailand
The Chanthaburi Fruit Festival is a beautiful experience for vegans and those who like staying healthy and travelling. The fruit festival is in Somdej Pra Chao Taksin Maharat Public Park, and sports and agricultural wonders from all over the region. Fruits like mangosteen, dragon fruit, and jackfruit are found during the festival.
If you regularly consume fruit or are on a raw diet, it makes for the perfect visit. You will likely see a large variety of foods you have never tasted and develop renewed vigour in being a raw eater. Even if you include meat in your diet, there is no reason you should not expand your fruit vocabulary and inform yourself about various cultures.
Visit a Fitness Resort
If you are new to becoming fit and looking to become healthier, a weight-loss resort might suit you. It offers the option of getting away from the world and enjoying your stay while being healthy. If you are unsure where to find fitness resorts, the professionals at FitStays offer a comprehensive list of sites in the United States. No matter your state, you will likely see a resort near you among the options they have listed. Fitness resorts can also double as a vacation, and if you are looking to go down south for the winter, they will offer you a healthy, warm, and fun experience.
Run a Marathon For Anyone
If you are looking for a great place to visit and engage in a healthy activity, Victoria, British Columbia (Canada) is the place for you. Victoria is located on Vancouver Island but boasts a small population, making it the optimal getaway from city life. They also have the annual Victoria Marathon, which anybody can enter. The marathon had around 8500 finishers, and while that seems like a more significant number of people, it is relatively small compared to other marathons. You can enjoy Victoria's picturesque old town feel and engage in some healthy activity. It is an excellent location if you are a runner who does not want to deal with the city crowd.
Trekking Across Mongolia
Mongolia is the least densely populated country in the world, with only a population of around 3 million. If you are looking for an escape from all the busy places, visiting Mongolia should be on your to-do list. Along with the lack of a vast population, hiking and camping in Mongolia are major tourist attractions. If hiking and adventuring across a country with mountains and deserts, Mongolia is the answer. You will not want to bring your cell phone here; the only thing you will need to keep yourself occupied is to be active and enjoy the natural scenery this country has to provide you.
Ride Your Bike in Amsterdam
While Amsterdam in the Netherlands might not be the first thought that pops into your head regarding healthy travel ideas, it is undoubtedly a good option. Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world. It is a place full of culture and people; you do not necessarily need to be somewhere remote to be healthy. You will be able to visit Amsterdam and enjoy all the tourist attractions while riding your bicycle to get everywhere. You will bump up your cardio and reduce the carbon emissions you leave in the world.
Go Camping in the Red Deer River Conservation Area
Sporting nearly 1.5 million acres, the Red Deer River Conservation Area in Alberta, Canada, is a vast park. It provides a way for you to go camping in the natural frontier. You can go hiking, camping, and canoeing, staying active and breathing in the fresh air without worrying about the pollution. If you are visiting at the right time of year, there will be plenty of blueberries to munch on if you are a fruit fanatic. The collected fees will be returned to the conservation area so they can be spent well. Be healthy, and feel good about what you do for the environment.
The Healthiest Country in the World
Spain was named the healthiest country in the world in 2019 for many reasons. If you visit any marketplace or even a grocery store location, there is a big chance that the fruits and vegetables are still fresh and grown locally. Supermarkets also tend to purchase meat locally (if you are not vegan) and offer a more refreshing alternative than the types of farming provided elsewhere. If you want to go to a country that supports local farmers and fresh food, then you should be touring Spain. You will be contributing to the local economy and feeding your health simultaneously.
