Did you know that taking a vacation is SCIENTIFICALLY proven to improve your health? Here are a few reasons why:
1. Stress reduction: A study released last year by the American Psychological Association concluded that vacations work to reduce stress by removing people from the activities and environments that they associate with stress and anxiety.
2. Heart disease prevention: A host of studies have highlighted the cardiovascular health benefits of taking a vacation.
3. Improved productivity: In our perpetual rush to be productive, we often undermine our very ability to consistently perform at peak levels.A study by the Boston Consulting Group found that high-level professionals who were required to take time off were significantly more productive overall than those who spent more time working.
4. Better sleep: Researchers say, that vacations can help interrupt the habits that disrupt sleep, like working late into the night or watching a backlit screen before bed.
