All that summer sun exposure on Jersey beaches can make us look older than we would like. Everyone dreams of turning back the hands of time. Imagine being able to reverse your aging or be able to live longer.

There have been movies about this, and there are plenty of anti-aging creams and potions that claim to make you look younger.

Now there are places you can go and they can allegedly accomplish this dream we all have to look and feel younger. However, it isn’t cheap. In fact, it’s much more expensive than you may have guessed.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting on these so-called longevity clinics. They promise to turn back the clock and add years to your life, and they’re charging as much as one hundred thousand dollars to be treated at their facility.

These clinics use all kinds of different methods including stem cell treatments, weight loss therapies, and many other procedures. The reviews are out, and the clinics’ customers are saying that whatever they are charging for the process is totally worth it.

Here’s the issue, or one of them, there are as many as eight hundred of these clinics in the United States and it is reported that they are not regulated.

Dr. Andrea Maier, who is working to regulate the medical standards that involve longevity medicine said, “It’s not a regulated market. Anybody who is treating your toenails can say they’re contributing to longevity.” She runs a longevity clinic in Singapore and her therapies are backed by human trials.

Even though it’s not a proven method people are so desperate to beat Father Time, they’re willing to take the risk with something that isn’t medically approved. It’s also worth noting that many of the clinics’ have some patients in their twenties.

So, if you’ve got a hundred grand sitting around, you may be able to look and feel younger.

 

2 New Jersey Destinations Among The Best For Solo Travel

There are some major benefits to taking a trip by yourself. The solitude gives you time to clear your mind and gather your thoughts. And it also enables you to create your own schedule, taking in the sights you set out for. Good Housekeeping published a report that details America’s best places for solo travel, and New Jersey was all over this list.

By The Numbers

In addition, Fifty Grande recently conducted a solo travel survey. They found that “52% of respondents said they planned to take a solo trip before the end of the year, and 64% of them planned to take that trip in America.” Furthermore, they found that 40% of those that participated in their survey answered “10” on a scale of 1-10 on how comfortable they were to travel alone. 83% said answered a 7 or above.

Other interesting items to note were 89% of the people had already taken a solo trip. The main reason was to “explore a new place and/or immerse in a local culture.” 22.9% said they traveled alone because it was “more fun when I’m 100% in control.”

Moreover, 52% of people plan on traveling solo before the end of the year. Much of that will be within the United States, Fifty Grande shows.

New Jersey is filled with areas that are prime for solo travel exploring. Of course, Atlantic City has a major nightlife scene. There are pristine golf courses all throughout the state, some of which are in close proximity to New York City (if you want to head in for dinner or a show). Finally, there are miles of beachside attractions along the Atlantic and historic sites deep in the heart of the Garden State. So, let’s take a look at the two New Jersey destinations that were named best for solo travel. They happen to over a hundred and thirty miles away from each other, and vastly different in terms of what you can explore there.

  • Princeton

    Home to the Ivy League Tigers, Good Housekeeping calls out the historic sites this central New Jersey town house to offer. “Princeton Battle Monument honors the battle fought and won by George Washington in 1777.” The University Art Museum and the Morven Museum and Garden often attract tourists from all over the world. Lastly, Carnegie Lake is one of the most serene spots in the state.

  • Cape May

    “Spend your day wandering the cute shops, sunbathing at the beach or climbing the 199 steps to the top of Cape May Lighthouse in Cape May Pointe State Park,” Good Housekeeping suggest. Cape May draws a lot of visitors in the summer months. It’s very common that you will find families, couples, and solo travelers among them. In addition to one of the most beautiful lighthouses on the east coast, you can visit winery’s, theaters, safaris, or just rest along the shore of the beautiful beaches.
