We've long known that stress and disease are linked. But it seems that we've forgotton the healing power of vacationing.
According to an article in the September issue of Conde Nast Traveler, an escape could stave off aging or even save your life. One study says two annual vacations can cut a person's risk of a heart attack by 50%.
Yet 34% of all American workers don't tap all their vacation time.
No question, travel has its hassles (delayed flights, crowds, booking snafus) but at its best, a change of venue provides unparalleled pluses, including the chance to unwind, reflect, recharge and de-stress.
And those positive holiday patterns often stay with us once we've back home in our routine.
So don't cancel that weekend getaway. Tell your boss it's good for your health
