Prevention mag reported on a report that those who take an annual vacation have a 40% lower chance of having a heart attack.

Sorry I don't know the issue I was just reading it at the Dr office.

Anyway, my old stastics professor always use to say "correlation does not mean casuation"

It could be that those who can afford to take a vacation have less heart attacks due to better employment, better income, better education, and better acess to health care. But just incase I better start taking more vacations.

"Vacation all I ever wanted. Vacation all I ever needed" The Go Goes:)

I think you nailed to corelation.

I'm not in a position to be able to physically "vacate" on a regular basis so I vacate everyday for at least half an hour. I go off to my happy place and return quite refreshed. Another good option is to laugh so hard that you fall down. I used to do this every day but I can only afford it about once a week lately.

Haven't had any heart problems yet, just a couple of bruises.

Isn't it said that vacations are just as stressful as moving house?

The last vacation I took was with a few of my classmates and we went on a mini cruise to Spain... It was the best holiday I've ever had

We're planning another for January 2006, when we qualify, just to unwind before we start working full time again.

I cannot agree more, we have not had a break in (3) years, time away. WOW, and we feel it, we are completely consumed with work, We look at others our age who have an easier lifetyle and we look better than them? How do you figure that? The mind and body doesn't stop, would that mean if we did, we would rust? I do not what to find out, but, i am feeling the strain.
