News Everyone Needs to Stay Healthy and Well in 2008

• A new study of 1,500 adults confirms that carving out time for a get away can result in significant mental health benefits and the more often the better.
• Those who took time away only once in six years were twice as likely to feel depressed and tense as those who  managed to get away at least twice a year.
• Even adults who escaped their hectic schedules once a year were nearly 50 percent more likely to experience tension than those who took multiple trips.
• Get Aways allow work-related stress levels to drop temporarily and give your brain the break that is important for your wellbeing:  Ongoing stress causes neurochemical changes in the brain, including reduced levels of serotonin, a feel-good chemical.

NEUROSCIENTISTS HAVE LOOKED INSIDE THE BRAIN THANKS TO CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGIES LIKE FUNCTIONAL MRI SCANS.  SCIENCE IS VALIDATING THAT THESE HEALTH CLAIMS ABOUT RELAXATION ARE HIGHLY PROBABLE:

1. Increases happiness and strengthens the immune system.
2. Enhances memory and attention.
3. Lowers blood pressure.
4. Helps alleviate mild to moderate anxiety and depression.
5. Increases alertness.
6. Helps control binge eating.
7. Helps lower blood sugar.
