When you’re traveling, it’s easy to throw caution to the wind and get caught up in the moment, but you should always pay attention to your health and wellness. Fortunately, you can take in the different trends from around the world and not only enjoy yourself, but take care of yourself at the same time — you’ll get the best of both worlds. Here are some of the health and wellness trends you’re likely to encounter as you travel the world.
Taking the Time to Relax
People like to jam-pack their travel schedules but it’s important to pencil in some downtime, too. Your travels will be that much more enjoyable if you’re not rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off or overbooking yourself. Take either a half or full-day off to just take in your surroundings without rushing from one attraction to the next. A nebulizing diffuser is a great way to center yourself. Use specialty essential oils to restore calm and promote relaxation.
Focus on Male Sexuality and Fertility
In 2022, more of the focus on sexuality is honing in on male fertility. A study has shown that male sperm levels have declined significantly over a 40-year span in Western countries. For this reason, it’s important to center in on male sexuality and potential problems that could lead to infertility.
Male sexuality, health and wellness are important, too. Many companies have created specific products designed with men in mind, showing a shift in the market for male products where it used to be predominantly female-dominated. For example, many companies now create grooming kits for men and there is an abundance of sex toys for men on the market, too.
Social Media to the Rescue
There’s a ton of content on the popular social media app, TikTok, and you can find nearly anything — including posts aimed at spiritual self-care, which is a big trend in 2022. It really gained traction for many people who were looking for a way to socialize. There are different spiritual self-care techniques you can look up and employ, such as guided breathing, meditation, or even tarot card readings and horoscopes if that’s your thing.
The good thing about it is, if you have a data source and a phone, you can access this content no matter where you are in the world. It’s quite literally wellness that you can take with you on the go.
Virtual Fitness
If you like working out and hate going to the gym, rest assured you’re not alone. Millions of people around the world skip going to a physical gym and opt for virtual workouts. These come in various forms, both free and paid versions. For example, YouTube has a variety of workout videos that range from yoga and pilates to HIIT cardio workouts that make you sweat. Then, there are apps you can download such as MadFit. Other programs, like BeachBody give you a full arsenal of tools to use, including several nutrition programs and nearly any kind of workout program you can think of.
The beauty of these virtual fitness programs is that you can take them with you anywhere you go. Many don’t require equipment, making it easy to take your workouts with you.
Next time you travel, make sure you take that little bit of time and center on your health and wellness. With so many resources across the globe, it doesn’t matter where you travel, whether it’s to the coast, a remote island or the jungle. You can always find a way to put yourself first and it’s imperative you do — it’ll only enhance your trip!
