Finnish scientists reach a conclusion that will upset workaholics. If this year you have not yet taken a vacation, then urgently correct yourself: firstly, you will rest and gain strength, and secondly, you will live longer.

Scientists from the University of Helsinki conducted a study and found out that you cannot live up to a ripe old age with a healthy lifestyle and hard work - whether you like it or not, you still need to rest from work. They came to this decision after studying the lives of 1222 people for 40 years..

From the very beginning of the experiment, all participants were divided into two groups - one was given recommendations on how to eat right, what exercises to do, which pills to take, and the second - no.

What all participants had in common was that they had a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, for example, obesity, high cholesterol, etc.. In the intervention group, the mortality rate was higher, and all due to the fact that the subjects took leave of three weeks or less.

" In our study, people with shorter vacations worked more and slept less than those who took longer vacations.. Therefore, such a stressful lifestyle may have crowded out any benefit from advice and a healthy lifestyle, "
