What does a vacation do for your mental health?

People who take at least one vacation report better health than those who don’t. A primary reason is the effect a vacation has on our mindset.
When we encounter new experiences, ranging from smells to foods to places, our brain is stimulated in a different way. These stimuli can adjust the way we think. It adds new information to our brain’s library of experiences, allowing us to draw on and intuit new ideas and spark creativity. Keeping your brain stimulated with new experiences can also help prevent cognitive decay over time.
Then there is the rest component. Your brain needs to experience different kinds of rest for optimal health. This can range from reading to exercising. Essentially, taking a break from the activity you spend most of your time doing can be considered restful for your brain.
