This is the text (if you need help).
Travelling is good for us. There is a saying that travel broadens the mind. A new study says that going on trips could slow down the ageing process. The travel bug could be one hobby that is healthy. Researchers from Edith Cowan University in Australia said travelling could make us look and feel younger. They said having different experiences and meeting new people could make us more youthful as we get older. Fangli Hu, lead author of the research, said: "Tourism isn't just about leisure and recreation. It could also contribute to people's physical and mental health". Ms Hu added: "Ageing, as a process, is irreversible. While it can't be stopped, it can be slowed down."
The researchers looked at how travelling might affect how we age. They suggested that going on vacations, backpacking and sightseeing can lower stress. Going on trips can also boost our metabolism, which strengthens our immune system. Travel could also help repair body tissue. This helps to slow down the signs of ageing. Ms Hu said travelling often involves physical activities like hiking, climbing, and cycling. She said these "potentially" reduce tension and fatigue in the muscles and joints. She added: "Participating in these activities could enhance the body's immune function and self-defence capabilities." The researchers said travelling could be better than anti-ageing creams.
