You might need that vacation a little more than you think you do. Sure, you may have heard that it’s worthwhile to step away from the job and clear your head. But new research suggests it can do your body a lot of good too.

About 74-percent of U.S. workers get paid vacation time, yet they only use about half of it. Some think they can’t get away from work, or they wouldn’t know what to do with their time, or that it’s too expensive. But the reality is that in most cases your employer will do just fine without you and you don’t have to spend any money to step away for a few days.
