Taking vacations:
Reduces Stress
Centerstone, a not-for-profit community-based behavioral health healthcare network, says, “Vacation helps shrink stress and anxiety while boosting the mental and physical health of the entire family.”
Helps Your Heart Stay Healthy
Taking an annual vacation has also been linked to a decrease in heart disease.
- The Journal of the American Medical Association published an article titled
- “Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial: Risk Factor Changes and Mortality Results”
- in which a study found that men who take frequent annual vacations were 32
- percent less likely to die from heart disease than their
counterparts who forwent vacations.
Similar results were found in the Framingham Heart Study which found negative effects on the heart when women do not take vacations. In a 20-year study, researchers found that women 
who took vacation once every six years or less were almost eight times more likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a heart attack than women who took at least two vacations per year.
Improves Your Mental Health
A survey of almost 1400 participants in studies on breast cancer, cardiovascular disease and other conditions, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center, found that “Leisure, including vacations, contributed to more positive emotions and fewer negative feelings and depression,” as reported by NPR.
