According to doctors, the answer might be, “Yes!”
PARSIPPANY, N.J. – March 25, 2004 – Medical research has established that taking regular vacations can have a variety of health benefits, including a decreased risk of dying of coronary heart disease. According to Mel Borins, M.D., an assistant professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto and a staff member at St. Joseph’s Health Center, research shows that these health benefits are enhanced when people take more vacations, and longer vacations.
“There’s a crisis in the U.S.,” says Dr. Borins, author of the book, Go Away: Just for the Health of It. “People are increasingly cutting back on vacation time despite the fact that results from the Framingham Study show that women who took a vacation at least twice a year had a 50 percent lower chance of developing coronary heart disease than women who took a vacation once every six years or less. For men, more frequent annual vacations reduced the relative risk of dying of coronary heart disease by almost 30 percent. I advise my patients to find ways to ensure that they are maximizing the impact of their vacations on their health.”
“Heart disease or stroke claims the lives of about 950,000 Americans every year,” said Dr. Borins. “Studies by researchers have shown that vacations may relieve stress, decrease burnout, improve life and job satisfaction, and strengthen family bonds. I believe that anything that makes you take longer or more vacations will help enhance these benefits.”
