Excerpt from the article:
"In the Framingham Heart Study, a multi-generational study of cardiovascular disease, women who took infrequent vacations (once every six years) were found to have a 50% higher incidence of heart disease than those who took at least two vacations annually. And among men, a 2000 study published in the American Psychosomatic Society journal found infrequent vacationers had a 20% greater risk of dying from any cause and a 50% greater chance of dying from a heart attack when compared with those who vacationed regularly."

I just posted the link on my facebook page and will possibly blog about this. People see vacations as being luxuries and are cutting their vacay budgets. Gotta remind them how essential a little getaway is to physical and mental well-being.
