Enjoy Healing Thermal Waters with Your Family on Vacation
What if, while having fun and relaxing on holiday with your spouse and children, you could also benefit from the therapeutic properties of healing thermal waters? At Oruçoğlu Thermal Resort, a world of thermal and spa pleasures awaits you...
Our modern life, with the conveniences of technology, offers us great blessings to perform tasks without physical exhaustion. We can shop, handle banking, and work from home without even going to an office, store, or mall. We believe this pace, controlled at our fingertips, doesn’t tire us. But how true is that?
The human body is designed for movement. For 3.5 million years, humans existed on Earth relying on physical labor—working in fields, factories, construction, etc.—until about 100 years ago. Before the invention of cars and trains, cross-continental travel on foot or by riding animals demanded strength. We quickly forgot that before the internet and smartphones, we had to leave home and move for even our smallest needs.
One of our biggest misconceptions was thinking our bodies and organisms could adapt to a sedentary lifestyle in such a short time. Medical experts insist on regular walking for good reason. Inactivity gradually rots us from within, leading to new health problems. Obesity—unheard of 50 years ago—is now one of our greatest health threats. Worldwide obesity rates are approximately 21.2% in men and 41.5% in women. How many people around you don’t constantly complain of fatigue, weakness, or constipation?
On the other hand, the expectation that technology would free up more time for ourselves and our loved ones did not materialize. Life sped up as it became easier, and we became slaves to time. We often faced the dilemma: a family vacation or a treatment program?
Yet, we had opportunities to do both—enjoy a vacation and undergo treatment—without having to choose.
As I write these lines, I am experiencing the peace and happiness of having overcome this dilemma, and I want to share the solution I found. I suffered from back and waist pain, my spouse had skin and digestive issues, and our children wanted more activities. One of the best decisions I made for our whole family’s happiness was to use our annual vacation for a winter thermal holiday.
Even though the children were a bit fidgety, we arrived at Oruçoğlu Thermal Hotel in Afyon. While icy weather outside chilled the bones, the warmth of the waters delighted the children. My spouse and I received treatments accompanied by the warm care of expert doctors and physiotherapists. With regular exercise and movement programs throughout the day, our muscles and joints found relief.
What delighted my spouse the most was that in those ten days—without even dieting—she lost 8 kilograms. Her skin became as beautiful as it was in her youth.
In conclusion, this winter, our family not only regained health but also experienced an unforgettable vacation together. All thanks to those who made it possible.
