Disease prevention and healthy living have become top priority for many over the past year. Until a vaccine is produced, our only defences against COVID-19 are the personal protective equipment we wear and our immune system. Neglecting your body’s natural defences with unhealthy living is far more dangerous than it has been in the past. Given the easy transmission of COVID-19, having a strong immune system is not just important for your own health but also important for the safety of others.
A wellness retreat is a relaxing and reliable way of improving one’s health. It’s a chance for a secluded, social distancing friendly getaway to focus on your personal wellbeing. Diet programmes, fitness classes, relaxing massage and sunnier climates are married together to aid your body’s natural defences. Wellness consultations and scientific supervision makes these retreats more effective than immunity boosting techniques you can do at home. If you are looking to bolster your health with all the perks of a luxury spa holiday this winter, read on to discover the 5 best immunity boosting retreats:
