He physical well-being It goes hand in hand with emotional health and spiritual peace, and in the Caribbean region we find a multitude of destinations where we can relax our mind and exercise our body, in such a way that we can fulfill the Latin expression of “A sound mind in a sound body”.
Relaxation is, without a doubt, the first thing we think of when hearing the word ‘wellness’. In Belice We find a wide variety of hotels and spas where we can leave our minds blank and disconnect from the routine for a few days. Another of the most relaxing destinations in the Caribbean is Mexicothe country that, due to its cultural wealth, its exceptional nature and its magical beaches, is the perfect place to celebrate Wellbeing Day in the Caribbean.
Mexico, which was once the cradle of Mayan and Aztec culture, hides charming towns that are still free from the massive arrival of tourists, such as Mazunte (in the state of Oaxaca). There they hold workshops and activities related to meditation, medicinal plants or Ayurvedic nutrition (a diet that tries to prevent physical and mental illnesses).
To keep the body active, the jungles and trails of countries like Costa Rica o Panama They will help us exercise our bodies surrounded by nature. Physical activity added to the adrenaline of certain activities, such as rafting, releases high levels of endorphin, a hormone that generates an effect of pleasure and well-being.
Typical gastronomy is also a fundamental factor in maintaining a balanced and healthy diet. The Caribbean diet is very rich in carbohydrates, due to the high consumption of rice, especially in countries like Cuba, Costa Rica or the Dominican Republic. They combine rice with other foods, such as Cuban rice congrí that they make with red beans; or the Dominican Niño Envuelto, a mixture of beef and rice wrapped in cabbage.
These days take a break and celebrate the Wellness Week in the Caribbeana date to reflect on our lifestyle and change our habits for healthier ones.
