Wellness Tip 4d Changing Climate: Take some time off and Rejuvenate!

Vacation deprivation not healthy. In fact, it's costly. - UPI.com: "Dr. Munro Cullum, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, said some level of stress can help people keep going and hasten projects and accomplishments, but if stress becomes too much, it can also result in negative physiological reactions that can lead to illness.

Exercise, a healthy diet and adequate sleep are important to maintain health, but people need some down time, to allow their brains to work "offline," Cullum said.

Cullum said even taking a short break can be rejuvenating, but significant de-stressing might take several days "just to get ourselves used to the idea of relaxing."

"Getting away for a vacation allows us time to simply play and leave the 'baggage' behind," Cullum said in a statement."
