Travel tips for dialysis patients.

Patients who receive dialysis can travel without missing their treatments while away from home. Of course, you should always consult your doctor before planning to travel. Most doctors encourage travel if the patient is assessed as being relatively healthy. Traveling can give a big boost to a patient’s morale and sense of well-being and prevent depression and alienation from friends and family members.

The beach and the sea: a source of health for people.

The beach and salt water provide numerous health benefits, according to experts. What is it about the beach that is so attractive? From the moment writing was invented, the charms of the sea have been described. Perhaps it’s the warm sunlight, the laughter of children, the beautiful shells, or even the endless possibilities of a vast sea that stretches to the horizon. But one thing is certain: humans are drawn to the ocean.

Long before the beach was a magnet for sunbathing, doctors believed the ocean had healing properties such as increasing blood circulation. Doctors prescribed trips to the seashore or visits to “bathing hospitals,” special clinics that offered seawater bathing treatments, as early as the 18th century. Recent scientific studies confirm that proximity to the sea can improve mental and physical health by reducing stress and improving breathing. Researchers found that the more “blue space” people saw in their daily lives, the less distress and anxiety they experienced.

Your Health & Wellness Destination.

Puerto Vallarta is a major “health and wellness destination” in Mexico. For a variety of reasons, more and more people are choosing to go elsewhere for medical treatments or general checkups.

Puerto Vallarta is a three-hour drive from Guadalajara, a one-and-a-half-hour flight from Mexico City, and a three- to five-hour nonstop flight from major cities in the United States and Canada. Our climate is always beautiful: sunny with a cool breeze during the winter and spring; sunny, warm, and humid with afternoon and evening rain during the summer and part of the fall. With more than 300 sunny days a year, clean air, and the beach and mountains, there’s always something fun or relaxing to do here.
