Have you ever thought about how your environment impacts your health? Here are some surprising ways spending time in Maui could actually improve your health and well-being.

The Outdoors are Calling

Throughout the year, Maui’s temperature ranges from 65°F to 88°F—which is an ideal temperature for spending time exploring this tropical island paradise. When the weather is so moderate, you’re practically guaranteed to spend more time doing outdoor activities like hiking, exploring, swimming, and surfing. Maintaining an active lifestyle has many well-documented benefits such as better overall health, improved mood, and a longer life. 

Healthy Fresh Food

Eating healthy in Maui never feels like a chore. Hawai’i is home to many delicious tropical fruits and superfoods like noni, lychee, and spirulina. You can eat the best fruit you’ve ever had, enjoy the health benefits, and shop local—at  the Upcountry Farmers Market and these Maui businesses—all at the same time. If you’re also a seafood lover, you’ll probably never find fresher fish and sushi. You can even book a deep-sea fishing trip and get involved in catching a world-class sashimi meal. It’s served right on the boat just minutes after being caught.  

Soaking Up the Sunshine

Getting the right amount of Vitamin D boosts your energy levels, while a deficiency can cause fatigue and muscle weakness. Sun exposure is a great, natural way to boost your Vitamin D levels and there’s no shortage of sunshine in Maui. As a side effect, you’ll probably get a great tan too; just don’t forget to apply sunscreen regularly.

The Power of Plants

Maui’s humid climate makes for a lush landscape. Spending time around plants in nature, sometimes called “greenspaces,” has proven to be psychologically restorative. You might have heard that many US metros are scrambling to add more parks and trees to their cities for this very reason. Maui has awe-inspiring natural wonders around every corner, from idyllic beaches to wild jungles, and you may just find a new level of peace-of-mind exploring them. One thing is for sure: you’ll want to come back soon!
