Vacation Play Keeps the Blues Away

Research has proven what we have all hoped—and secretly known—vacations are good for your health! A study conducted by the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin and published in the Wisconsin Medical Journal shows that rates of depression and tension were not as high in women who took one to two vacations a year as compared to women who took a vacation only once in two to six years. In addition, it was found that marital satisfaction was reported higher in women who vacationed more often. Cathy McCarthy Ph.D. the principle investigator of the study states, "Vacations provide a break from everyday stressors. They allow us time away from work or home and help us release built-up tension."

This brings a fresh, new meaning to the oft quoted doctor’s orders of, “Take two and call me in the morning.” Whether you are looking to relax on a girlfriends’ getaway, reconnect on a romantic escape, or engage in good old fashioned family bonding, the vacation possibilities—and mental health benefits—are endless. The Disneyland ® Resort, San Diego, the Beaches and Sandals Resorts, cruises, Hawaii, and many more destinations all provide the excitement and sunshine that will drive away those inner clouds.
