Así son las vacaciones más saludables, según la ciencia: mejor largas y con actividad deportiva de por medio
Un metaanálisis constata que el descanso laboral favorece el bienestar, pero los expertos avisan de que en los parones veraniegos también puede hacer aflorar el agotamiento acumulado
For a truly healthy vacation, science suggests that longer breaks and the inclusion of physical activity are key. This advice echoes the words of former U.S. President William Taft, who declared in 1910, "After the hard and exhausting work that one undertakes between autumn and spring, [such rest periods] are necessary to enable one to continue the work the following year with the energy and efficiency it deserves."
The debate over the ideal length of vacations has been ongoing for a century, with The New York Times even hosting a discussion on the matter. While the debate remains unresolved, experts have been refining what a truly restorative vacation should entail. According to them, longer vacations contribute to greater well-being and maximize the benefits of downtime when physical activity is incorporated.
Additionally, establishing healthy sleep and eating routines, as well as achieving a genuine psychological disconnection from work, are crucial for a truly rejuvenating break.
