Your much awaited time off is just around the corner and you're looking forward to a nice, relaxing time?
Holidays and short breaks have more health benefits than you think. In addition to discovering and enjoying new experiences, you can also get in shape and even start a healthier lifestyle.
The stress at work and sleep deprivation can cause average performance, premature ageing and even illness, that's why holidays are the ideal time to relax and recharge your batteries.
According to some scientists, whilst we are sleeping, our bodies undergo really important changes, from renewal to repair and energy restoration, sleeping is also excellent for our immune system.
Although some of you may think that sunlight is not really good for your skin, this is more important than you imagine. Firstly the lack of sunlight is thought to "trigger seasonal affective disorder", so if lately you've been suffering from stress or sadness, going on a holiday can do the trick and put you in a cheerful mood.
Certainly, everyone loves to laugh, and if you're having a pleasant holiday, you're more likely to be happy. According to recent research, laugh can strengthen your immune system and can help minimise the risk of illness, be it allergic reactions or heart disease.
Forget about the car, take the opportunity to walk and cycle whilst on holiday. Go out, explore the areas around you and keep in shape. If you want a gentle work-out, a lap in the sea or the pool can definitely be a good way to exercise and stretch your body.
