USA has a whole day to remind people to relax. And how important it is to our health. Why National Relaxation Day? People are encouraged to take a break from their hectic lives and enjoy the outdoors. Stress is a leading cause of death and disease. It’s therefore essential that people take a break from the stressors in their daily lives. People are encouraged to participate in activities that will re-energize their bodies and minds. People can take the day off work to go for a walk or hike or relax on the couch with the TV. It doesn’t matter how you view it; you must do it in an easy to manage way that helps you relax and doesn’t add stress to your daily life. We need this day in OZ!
