5 reasons why holidays are good for your health

 

Not feeling a fitness regime? The good news is, you don’t need to fork out for a gym membership or pricey superfoods to kick start your health, as it’s scientifically proven that holidays are good for you. Yep, instead of dragging yourself out of bed for an early morning run, just book a much-needed break and you’ll be doing wonders for your health. Best of all, experts reckon the benefits from even a short holiday last for months. Studies have shown that stress resilience improved by 29% after holidaymakers returned from their break. Here’s how holidays keep you in tip top shape…

YEAR-ROUND VITAMIN D

It’s a well-known fact that Brits can be lacking in vitamin D and levels plummet when the cold, dark winter weather kicks in. Luckily, you don’t need to go far to get your sunshine fix. Some of our year-round sunny destinations, like Tenerife, Cyprus and Morocco, are less than a four-hour flight away. So, in the time it takes you to make that long morning commute or watch some Netflix, you could be topping up your vitamin D levels on the beach.

SWIM-UP ROOMS 

Pools are an important part of any holiday, whether you like them Olympic-sized, packed with waterslides or adults-only. One of the best things about our TUI BLUE hotels is the swim-up rooms, where you can go from bed to pool in a matter of minutes. There’s no better incentive to start the day with a morning swim than when the pool is right on your doorstep. Swimming is a great activity as it works out every main muscle in your body, so you’ll be doing a full body workout without even realising. If you’re more of a sea-swimmer, pick a resort that’s footsteps from the beach like the TUI BLUE El Dorado Seaside Suites in Mexico or the Azul Beach Resort Negril by Karisma. You’ll reap the benefits of swimming in saltwater including deep pore cleansing and promoting extra blood flow to the skin.

FRESHLY-PREPARED HEALTHY MEALS

There’s no need to waste hours preparing your salads and juicing vegetables, all your meals are lovingly prepared for you if you go All Inclusive for your getaway. And, it’s not all about the endless buffets, you can take your pick from light lunches, smoothies on the beach and gourmet à la carte meals made from fresh local ingredients, too. Our Robinson holidays, in destinations including Portugal and Fuerteventura, were made for health-conscious holidaymakers. Get ready to discover activities and meals tailored towards keeping you active and feeling great. Not only is there plenty of locally-sourced fish and meat to tuck into, the WellFood® station is where you can fuel up on nutritional dishes and energy boosting smoothies.

RELAXING WELLNESS RETREATS

There’s no better way to unwind than with a luxury spa treatment, and our zen-like TUI BLUE Sensatori spas are world-renowned. They’re designed to stimulate all five senses, so you can expect music, soft lights, delicate aromas and unique features like floatariums. Special treatments are on the menu at all the resorts, which include the likes of diamond facials and sea salt body buffs. If you’re after the ultimate spa retreat, check out BodyHoliday in St Lucia – a secluded state-of-the-art wellness retreat.

GET FIT WITHOUT TRYING

There’s nothing worse than waking up extra early on a cold winter morning and dragging yourself to the gym. But on holiday, a sunrise yoga session or morning jog on the beach makes a great start to the day. The range of new activities you can try, like paddle boarding, windsurfing and archery, means you might even discover a new hobby. Our Robinson resorts offer around 70 activity classes per week where you can try your hand at everything from catamaran sailing and body boarding to volleyball and basketball. Meanwhile, our TUI BLUE hotels flaunt sports and activities for all ages, too. Keep your eye peeled for tennis, snorkelling, salsa, aerobics and much more. You’ll also find a packed activity schedule at all of our TUI MAGIC LIFE resorts which include a mixture of fitness classes and watersports like wakeboarding, mountain biking and aerobics.

Ready, set, relax…
