Taking a holiday is not a luxury, it's proven to be essential in improving your health. The researchers from Syracuse University found that people who took more vacation time in the past year had a lower number of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. These risk factors may include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, body fat around the waist, and high cholesterol, all of which can contribute to heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/vacation-improves-your-heart-health
