DOWNTIME MAY DECREASE HEART DISEASE

 

A host of studies have highlighted the potential cardiovascular-health benefits of taking a vacation, including:

The Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial for the Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease sponsored by the National Institutes of Health’s Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The trial followed 12,000 men over a nine-year period that had a high risk for coronary heart disease. The study found that any such men who take frequent annual vacations were 21 percent less likely to die from any cause and were 32 percent more likely to die from heart disease.

The landmark Framingham Heart Study – the largest and longest-running study of cardiovascular disease – revealed that men who didn’t take a vacation for several years were 30 percent more likely to have heart attacks compared to men who did not take time off. And women who took a vacation only once every six years or less were almost eight times more likely to develop coronary heart disease or have a heart attack compared to women who vacationed at least twice a year.

 

OTHER UPSIDES OF DOWNTIME

 

In addition to reducing the risk of heart disease, studies have shed light on several other potential health benefits associated with vacationing, including:

 

  • Decreased depression
  • Better physical health
  • More productivity
  • Closer family relationships
  • Newer perspectives
  • Increased mental power
  • Lower chance of burn out
  • Improved mental health

 

Vacations are vital to every facet of your health, and everyone as SuiteBreak.com sincerely hopes your life is filled with adventures you can only find while on vacation.

Q

How can we beat online rates?

A

Pricing available to the general public is bound by Rate Parity, which can be defined as “maintaining consistent rates for same product in all online distribution channels – Expedia, Orbitz, Hotwire, etc. – regardless of what commission the Online Travel Agency makes.” In short, SuiteBreak is only available to closed user groups: select corporations, their employees, friends and family, and can therefore beat online pricing by passing the commission through to the customer.

To see the difference, search your favorite travel site and compare their prices with ours. If we’re not the lowest, PLEASE LET US KNOW.

Q

What are Wellness Dollars?

A

Wellness Dollars take dollar-for-dollar off the public rate at over 200,000 hotel stays, Weekly Resort Stay, activities and cruises, down to the lowest wholesale rate available. For example:
