Travel Tips For Hydrating With Thermal Baths

 


Thermal baths in Ax Les


 


Travel can be tiring. We can also get dehydrated when we fly or travel.


When I’m traveling in Europe,  Asian or anywhere in the world, I always look to see if there are any types of thermal springs in the areas where I am  visiting. There are therapeutic hot springs and fountains almost everywhere in the world. These waters have natural minerals in them that are incredibly great  for our health.  One of the main nutrients that they usually have is sulfur.





Sulfur is a major nutrient we need in order to get oxygen into our cells. MSM is a natural form of organic sulfur. Sulfur is the third most prevalent element found in the body. With sulfur being one of our body’s main nutrients, this is absolutely critical to our health.


Without the proper levels of sulfur, our bodies aren’t able to build good healthy cells, and this leads to illness.








Our bodies are made of 66–72 percent water. Our blood uses water to transport oxygen, nutrients, and antibodies to every part of our body. Research today indicates most disease occurs as a result of chronic intercellular dehydration.  The quality of the water we drink and the food we eat is of vital importance to our health and well-being.


So, when I was recently in France, I went up to ski in the Pyrenees Mountains. I researched thermal waters and found the perfect ski village with natural sulfur rich water. Ax Les Thermes was the name of the village. There were actually little hot spring baths around the town that children and adults were soaking there legs in.


The town was delightful. We skied in the most wonderful fresh powder on very well marked slopes.


Exercising on trips adds so much more healthy  fun to the experience.


When we had finished for the day, we headed to the thermal baths in the center of the town to work out the sore muscles in the hot baths. It was fantastic. I love going to these foreign baths.





This town has been famous for centuries for “the healing waters.” It is like a hot springs water park with the jets, water falls, various pools w. fountains and I love sitting outside in them with the snow falling on us and the steam rising with the full moon and mountains over us.


So, on your next trip somewhere, look to see if there aren’t any hot springs or thermal baths you can visit on your trip.


You may need to take your own towels with you. Also, check on the hours and days of operation. They are all a bit different.


These adventures in healthy hot springs may find it adds a whole new level of health to your trip!
