The norms for the number of vacation days and the fullness of "procedures" are becoming a thing of the past, having not found scientific confirmation. And according to VTsIOM, Russians do not rest.

• A fundamental study by psychologists from Radboud University in Nijmegen (Netherlands) showed that the peak of subjective feeling of happiness, surge of energy and health occurs precisely on the eighth day of rest. After that, the indicators reach a plateau or gradually decline.

• Nutrition in post-Soviet sanatoriums lags far behind modern knowledge. Numbered tables, the benefits of soups, incredible overabundance of simple carbohydrates and poor variety of local products - all this is very bad and few are ready for changes.
New healthy trends are already appearing in modern five-star resorts. Information about the benefits of dishes, limiting the choice of dishes and "red list" products.

When the dining place is located at a distance, that's good. Physical activity immediately after eating (for example, a light walk) helps smooth out spikes in blood glucose levels and reduces the risk of developing metabolic disorders, contributing to healthy longevity.

Short physical exertion stimulates gastrointestinal motility and helps get rid of the feeling of heaviness or bloating.

• Imposing a sleep schedule reduces the risk of mental disorders, improves metabolic health, stabilizes the cardiovascular system, and optimizes memory consolidation in the brain.

• Muds, mineral waters, baths - all of them have a very weak effect according to research data (but the best according to sanatorium workers). Most studies are non-randomized or have small group sizes, which does not allow to accurately assess the true effect size.

Gadgets, new risk calculation scales, objective analysis of various factors at the resort - already ready. The next step is a new profession: rest consultant.
