University of South Australia say they’re ‘all in’ when it comes to a long weekend, especially as new empirical research shows that the extra time off is good for our health. Specifically, it showed that on holiday people:·       engaged in 13 per cent more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) each day (or five min/day more)·       were five per cent less sedentary each day (or 29 min/day less)·       slept four per cent more each day (or 21 min/day more). “Importantly, our study also showed that even after a short holiday, people’s increased sleep remained elevated for two weeks, showing that the health benefits of a three-day break can have lasting effects beyond the holiday itself
