A recent study reveals that travel enhances mental and physical health, potentially slowing the ageing process. It maintains a low-entropy state, boosts immunity, reduces stress, promotes physical activity, and enhances overall wellness and resilience.

  • Engaging in travel keeps the body in a low-entropy state, indicating healthy and efficient bodily functions.
  • Entropy, is a measure of disorder in the system, correlates with ageing and health decline. Increased entropy leads to deteriorating biological systems, contributing to diseases. 
    • A higher entropy generation rate shortens lifespans. Maintaining a low-entropy state is crucial for health, highlighting the importance of order in ageing and wellness.
