Taking Time Off Benefits Your Health
Summer is right around the corner and in honor of US Travel & Tourism Week, we want to encourage everyone to take time off to explore not only our region, but surrounding ones as well.
Vacations are good for your health and it’s even proven to boost your productivity at work in the long run, yet many don’t use their vacation days. In fact, more than 705 million vacation days went unused in 2017 according to Project Time Off.
Research suggests that a drop of nature is like a drop of morphine to your brain, according to Eva M. Selhub, Harvard physician and co-author of Your Brain on Nature. And there’s so much nature in our destination! Take a day off and walk on the battlefield, sign up for a horseback tour, or check out the surrounding state forests like nearby Michaux.
If nature isn’t for you, you can still take time off to explore different businesses you haven’t been able to yet. Take a stroll downtown and shop local boutiques, taste craft beverages on the Adams County Pour Tour™, or savor the flavors of our culinary scene.
No matter how you use your vacation days, it’s proven that taking time away from work reduces stress, lowers your risk of heart disease, boosts happiness, and makes you more appreciative and productive when you go back to work.
So go ahead, tell your company and take a day off to help your overall health and see what you’re missing out in our destination!
