Vacation can lift depression: Expert

Those feeling a little down these days might just need to go on vacation, a New Jersey psychologist who specializes in depression says. "A well-timed vacation may offer significant benefits for mental health. The relaxation provides a much-needed change of gears in a time-starved society, and may be an ideal time to reconnect with loved ones travelling with you. For those travelling alone, vacations may lead to a higher level of self-discovery," Dr. David Hubschmitt says.

Clean hands key to resort eating

Regarding eating off-property at tropical resorts, vacation specialists at Club Med tell News Canada the following: Wash your hands before eating. In areas of poor sanitation, raw food may be contaminated, so avoid salads as well as uncooked vegetables and fruit. Avoid cream and milk products; any dish that uses raw eggs; curbside meats, fish and seafood; and at restaurants be sure these foods are served piping hot.
