The Henry Ford Health Center has plenty of accomplishments to brag about. It’s been helping patients for 110 years, is currently engaged in 3,000 research projects, and with 50,000 team members, no wonder it’s considered a leading authority on human health. That said, when experts at Ford weigh in on why we feel so much more sluggish in winter than we do during other seasons, you can count on Ford to explain why.
Come January, temperatures drop, we all feel sleepy and tired, and diminished sun exposure forces us to produce an abundance of melatonin, the sleep hormone that makes us feel like staying in bed. Mood disturbances are at their peak in January, so no amount of coffee helps—but there is one solution that will: Stash your shovels, snow suits, and earmuffs and head for Belize. It’s the prescription your doctor would sign off on, so why not write this script for yourself and include your friends or family?
Belize in January is life-affirming
Would you like a prescription that takes just a few hours to start working? That’s the amount of time it takes to reach Belize via some of the last-minute airline deals that are easy to find these days. With no prep time needed to study another language, getting from ice to iced cocktails takes just a few hours. Find everything you need at Manta Island Resort—an enclave of pleasure located at the edge of an ancient atoll where new arrivals say they feel as though they’ve just won the lottery.
Don’t come alone. You likely know other folks eager to escape winter, and since Manta is currently booking 2-bedroom villas, why not defrost as a group? Whether you prefer traveling with family or friends, lush, roomy digs create the ideal base for both adventure and sun seekers impressed by Manta’s tour options. Unique experiences await folks of all ages, so convincing others to join you won’t require much urging.
