Travelling is good for us. It broadens the mind. A new study says it could slow down the ageing process. Researchers from Australia said travelling could make us look and feel younger. Having different experiences could make us more youthful. Researcher Fangli Hu said: "Tourism could contribute to people's physical and mental health". She added: "Ageing, as a process, is irreversible. While it can't be stopped, it can be slowed down."
Going on vacations, backpacking and sightseeing can lower stress. Travelling can strengthen our immune system and repair our body. Ms Hu said we do activities like hiking, climbing, and cycling. These can reduce stress and tiredness in our muscles. Ms Hu added: "Participating in these activities could enhance the body's immune function and self-defence." The researchers said travelling might be better than anti-ageing creams.
