WELLNESS
Whether you’re overworked, overwhelmed, or simply just exhausted by everyday life, a vacation in Antigua & Barbuda will get you back on track.
ANTIGUA & BARBUDA IS GOOD FOR THE MIND, BODY & SOUL JANUARY – ANTIGUA & BARBUDA WELLNESS MONTH
W e already know that living by the sea is good for your health and that’s the beauty of living on a small island, the sea is never too far away. Sea water is rich in minerals that can have curative effects on the skin and as Antigua & Barbuda have so many different water-based activities you can take advantage of the crystal-clear waters, all day everyday if you so desire. If you don’t fancy dipping in the sea, simply breathing in the sea air encourages respiratory health, stimulates the immune system and ultimately makes you feel more energised, alert and happier. The sunshine vitamin (vitamin D) is in abundance here in paradise too, so catching your expert recommended 10 minutes of sunshine a day to help lift your mood, is pretty easy! And once it is lifted and you decide you want to get active there is so much to do on the island you will be spoilt for choice. You can hike, cycle, play football, golf, there’s swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and kitesurfing or if you prefer an actual fitness class you can do that too at one of the many gyms across the island. If you want to eat clean while you are here, that’s also no problem. Antiguan food is generally fresh and largely additive free, and exotic locally grown fruit and veg can be bought at roadside stalls across the country. Many bars and restaurants across the island, use local, seasonal ingredients in their menu and embrace the farm to table cooking ethos. The coconut water which is in abundance here is low in fat, helps to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure and is hydrating as well as being sweet and tasty. It also mixes perfectly with our local rums.
With the excesses of the holiday season behind us and the ink still wet on our New Year’s resolutions, January is the perfect month to formally encourage people to take control of their mind, body and spirit and that is exactly what the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Board have decided to do. Every January they now host Wellness Month, a month-long push to encourage residents and visitors alike, to take advantage of all the wellness practitioners on island who are ready, willing and able, to help them kick start their year off right!
