WhereDaily News: Diamond Resorts International(R) -- Vacations for Life(R) -- Studies Suggest Vacations Improve Physical and Mental Health
LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - January 18, 2016) - The conclusion reached by numerous studies over the past few years show vacations have a quantitatively positive effect on physical and mental health. Despite clear evidence, Americans find it difficult to take a break. According to data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, people are working much harder than a generation ago - in 1976 more than 9 million people took a summer break, but that number dropped to 7 million by 2014. Diamond Resorts International®, one of the world's biggest vacation time-share networks with over 350 destinations in 34 countries, has compiled evidence showing just how frequent retreats can improve our health.
