Iceland is something of a walker’s mecca , with literally thousands of stunning walks and hikes suitable for all levels of fitness. As part of GMTV's Healthy Heart Week,’ they have sent it’s resident GP Dr Hillary Jones out to Iceland to look at how and why residents of the ‘Land of Ice and Fire’ are so healthy, and why the quality of life is consistently placed in the top ten in the world. As Dr Hillary moves around Iceland, you can see why Icelanders like to get out in the outdoors. From swimming in the Blue Lagoon to wandering down the black sand beaches of Skedararsandur, there’s plenty of opportunities for the active amongst you. And having got some fresh air and had a good walk you’ll probably be hungry – so tuck into some of Iceland’s famously fresh fish and vegetables for that extra healthy burst. After all of that you’ll have definitely earned a guilt-free glass of wine in one of Reykjavik’s fabulous bars or cafes, and if your idea of exercise is dancing the night away then you’ve got plenty of trendy clubs to choose from – and there’s nothing better for dealing with the bleary-eyed morning after than a dip in the hot springs of the Blue Lagoon.
Travel to Iceland and reinvigorate body, mind and perhaps even your dancing shoes…
