Your New Year’s resolution for 2014 should be… plan a trip.
It can be anywhere, with anyone. According to the Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, travel is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Their study found that Women who vacationed only every six years had a significantly higher risk of developing a heart attack or coronary death compared with women who vacationed at least twice a year. Men who did not take an annual vacation were shown to have a 20% higher risk of death and about a 30% greater risk of death from heart disease.
The researchers also say that the benefits of travel are immediate. After just one or two days, you’ll likely experience a significant drop in stress. The sooner you start planning your trip, the better. Just looking forward to your trip triggers the health benefits.
