This post is titled Going on holiday 'lowers your IQ' by author SoulJah.
A scientist claims going on holiday makes you stupid. Siegfried Lehrl, of the University of Erlangen and Nuremberg in Germany, claims that sunbathing and relaxation lowers your IQ.
Lehrl agrees people who work hard all year need some time to relax, but he says they should avoid getting bored while on holiday, since boredom affects intelligence.
"Boredom is a warning signal when we feel a lack of mental challenge," he told Berliner Kurier. "Fourteen days of complete rest can be enough to bring your IQ down by 20 points."
So if not a holiday, what does Herr Lehrl recommend? According to the paper, a daily round of backgammon is the preferable option.
Otherwise, take a book along to the beach to stay smart.
