Saving Your Heart With A Little Break

People go on holiday for all sorts of reasons, but stress reduction has to be up there with the most popular. They’ve been working hard all year and just want to get away from it all to blow off a little steam or just forget about it all for a couple of weeks whilst sipping martinis around a pool. It doesn’t often enter people minds however, just how the holidays are helping and by how much? Let’s take a look at how holidays can bring that blood pressure down and may even save your life.

Sun. That small yellow ball in the sky in the sky is the source of all live on earth and it can make you’re a lot more enjoyable. On top of all the more obvious benefits that the sun brings, such as letting us experience more of the outdoors and giving us a tan, their are deeper, more psychological benefits also. The eyes are very sensitive to light levels and if there is not enough of it around, they will trigger the body to release melatonin in to the blood stream. This makes us feel tired, lethargic and sleepy. When the sun is beaming however, when you’re enjoing hot Canada holidays for example, the eyes take in a lot of light, less melatonin is produced and we feel more energized, happy and less stressed.

Less anxiety. When we worry or are anxious about things like work, money, relationships etc, there is a chemical chain reaction in the body. The hypothalamus triggers the release of additionally adrenaline and cortisol into the blood stream from the adrenal glands. Blood pressure, rate of breathing, and pulse (among other things) then increases as a result. If these functions do not return back to their normal operations, before long they will become stressed themselves and can malfunction. By going on new and fun trips such as enterttaining  Orlando holidays in Disney Land or maybe beach resort American holidays, you’ll get some time away from your problems, get some distractions, and give your body a chance to rest. Believe it or not, many doctors and other medical professionals are now suggesting to their patients to take holidays as a method of combating stress.
