10-Minute Consult: Healthy Travel
Ahhh, vacation. Whether it’s a relaxing week at the beach, a whirlwind tour of Europe, or time spent at home doing nothing, vacationing is good for the mind and the body. There’s even some scientific backing for the notion that regular vacations are good for your health. At least two large studies suggest that people who get away every so often live longer and are less likely to develop heart disease than those who don’t.
But that’s not to say that vacations can’t be stressful, or even the cause of medical problems on occasion. In this guide, you’ll find the information you’ll need to make sure your vacation is a healthful one, from the plane ride there to your final meal of the trip.
Prepared by the editors of Harvard Health Publications in consultation Howard Lewine, M.D., the Chief Medical Editor, Internet Publishing Harvard Health Publications Harvard Medical School. 35 pages. (2008)
