Japan

Home to the legendary Mount Fuji, surrounded by the magnificent Five Fuji Lakes, it is no surprise that Japan is one of the top healthy travel destinations to explore this year. There is no better place to head on breathtaking hikes with incredible lookout points or breathe in the cool crisp as you see millions of pretty pink cherry blossoms scattered across the country. You will find locals taking on tricky hikes well into their older age. It’s no wonder Japan is home to the oldest living person in the world — and often tops the list for this. The diet is healthy, featuring lots of omegas from fish, with vegetables, fermented foods, and many macronutrients, so you can soak up the tasty flavors while tasting delectable dishes and drinking warm soothing teas, as you discover how beautiful mother nature can truly be.

Finland

Boasting the highest air quality in the world, there’s no wondering why taking a trip to Finland is good for you. The country has the cleanest air in the world, sparing locals from suffering from many illnesses that air pollution tends to cause. This also comes as no surprise, as more than 75% of Finland is covered by forests, making it the most forested country in Europe. There are also strict environmental regulations that are put in place to protect the land, making this one of the top healthy travel destinations. The country is a nature lover’s paradise and is a wonderful destination to escape the busy pace of life and retreat to a natural haven coated in lakes, forests, valleys, and mountains. This is also one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in the world — particularly from December to March.
