Entering the third week of the year, the recent holidays may already feel like a distant dream from the past. That is exactly why this is the best time to start planning Mini holidays for the coming year.
It is said that the key to happiness is having something to look forward to which in turn nourishes an atmosphere for growth and a feel-good sensation. This is why, a mini holiday is just the thing you need to keep you going through the year. Apart from the feel-good, there are several health benefits for you and your Suzuki outboard!
Promoting a healthy heart
Studies done at the University of Pittsburgh indicated that men between the ages of 35 and 57 who take regular vacations have healthier hearts. Participants under the same criteria for not taking holiday breaks have a 32% more chance of a heart attack.
Letting your outboard sit idle for months on end without taking the correct precautions can be harmful to your outboard. Therefore, taking your outboard out to the water and letting her run at least up to operating temperature is good for her overall health!
Decrease your blood pressure
Taking a break from your busy schedule can decrease your blood pressure by up to 6%, therefore people suffering from high blood pressure are advised to set regular time aside to relax.
It is fine to run your outboard motors on land using earmuffs or hose fittings but running your outboard on open water helps flush fuel through the system and prevent old fuel from separating water to damage the components.
Improved sleep quality and stress relieve
By going on holiday, you can improve your sleep quality by 17% shows research done by Quoin Travel and Nuffield Health. Having less stress makes you less anxious, provides peace of mind, and in turn better sleep. Naturally taking a mini holiday is also a major stress reliever and also hosts physiological benefits that lead to better work performance.
Your outboard motor is made for performance and durability and therefore when using your Suzuki outboard more you are allowing it to function according to its potential. In short, the more you use your outboard motor, the better it will last if regularly serviced and maintained.
They say a change is as good as a holiday, but we say a holiday is a change you need for your and your outboard's ultimate performance.
Happy “Mini Holiday” planning!
