Minibreak Hazards?
The minibreak, a long holiday weekend promoted by the European travel industry as a quick and easy way to relax away from life’s stresses, may “do more harm than good,” reports the Guardian newspaper of London
According to cardiologist Dr. Walter Pasini, of the WHO, packing, rushing to an airport, and flying, along with changes in temperature, food, and time zones, contribute to exhaustion and are potentially dangerous. The body takes a few days to relax and adjust to a different climates and life-styles, if there is not enough time for this to happen, circulation and sleep patterns are adversely affected. Dr. Pasini’s study “found that those who snatched a few days away were 17% more likely to have a heart attack and 12% more likely to have a car crash than those who took a week or more off,” the message is not that short breaks are inherently dangerous, but that people should take care and prepare properly. People who take short break holidays and race around trying to pack everything into a few days is not a good way to relax.
In fact, it can be very stressful. (Well .. there's always somebody ready to be negative.. wot the hell, go, enjoy yourself and have fun)
