A New Year's resolution is a tradition in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior, to accomplish a personal goal or otherwise improve their life.
New Year = New Resolutions
Did you know that the #1 New Year’s resolution year after year is to eat better, exercise more and lose weight? Also topping the resolution charts is to travel and vacation more. This year, why not make both health and travel your New Year resolutions? We are firm believers that health and vacation can go hand in hand, especially on Kiawah Island.
It has been scientifically proven that vacationing to the beach is good for both your mental and physical health. Your mental health can benefit because a beach vacation gives you time to de-stress and get some much-needed relaxation time. Not to mention that a vacation spot like Kiawah Island is the perfect place for your physical health because there are so many things to do to keep you active from sunrise to sunset.
Recharge on Kiawah
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Visiting the coast gives you the opportunity to leave your phone, emails, computer and the many stressors that come with technology in the villa enjoy a “tech detox” on the beach. The calming effects of the waves crashing on the shore can help you catch some daily beach zzz’s that will leave you feeling recharged and refreshed. Lastly, exposure to sunlight can release serotonin in your body, which can lift your mood and help people suffering with depression.
Work Out on Kiawah
Does your daily workout routine feel mundane? A day in the sand is a perfect way to mix up your fitness routine, because the possibilities are endless. Make an effort to join in on the kid’s game of beach volleyball, bocce ball or frisbee. You could also try paddle boarding, kayaking or going for a leisurely swim. Even just walking in the sand requires 1.6-2.5 times more mechanical work than walking on a hard surface does. No matter what you are doing on the beach, a workout will be happening.
There are also bike and nature trails that wrap all through Kiawah Island. We recommend renting a bike from Seaside Cycles and have fun riding by the ponds, climbing up the observation towers and exploring the gorgeous parks.
Eat Right on Kiawah
Our vacation rentals make it very easy to cook from “home” to avoid all the excess calories from eating out every night. If you are wanting to dine out, check out options like Hege’s or Ladles located in Freshfields Village for healthy meal options. And, there are even a few delicious options for meal delivery services on Kiawah Island.
Kiawah Island is the Perfect Vacation Spot
