Aerobics for Me

Is sea air actually that go for you, everyone seems to have the concept that sea air is great fresh air, but how good is it? Lets start with the good points to going on a beach holiday, and why it is good for your health, then we can make a decision later

Whats better than going to the beach and having a good swim? Getting your heart to work hard is why swimming is great, all your muscles work together to get the body moving, you can get a strong heart beat too. Even while you swim you can have fun and in doing so you are making your heart work harder, therefore you get exercise while you enjoy yourself. Swimming in the sea is good for your skin and promotes skin healing. Clearing up acne and permanent scars is something that the high levels of salt in the sea are great at.

The sun is also good for your skin (in small doses). Skin cancer and multiple sclerosis can both be reduced in risk with vitamin D which is supplied by sunlight.

If anything the one thing we can all agree on (as long as you have a good holiday) is that holidays are best for reducing stress levels. The most common problems linked with stress are heart disease and skin problems. Making sure that you dont get too stressed, will help reduce chances of medical problems. Being able to go on luxury holidays by the beach will relieve stress will help you to clear your head as well.

Now for the bad points, lets say you were looking at Caribbean holidays for example. There are sandy beaches everywhere, and nothing you can do to avoid them. The sun is going to be following you wherever you go. The sun isnt always good for you, in high amounts it can be very bad for you. We have all been there, stayed in the sun too long and noticed we are shedding skin or glowing lobster red, the skin is just getting cooked.

In recent studies it has been shown that the sea air isnt actually that brilliant for you. Although the air is cleaner than that, say in a city, it contains some interesting substances. Dont worry its not that serious, its just interesting to find out. DMS (dimethyl sulphide) is a substance that animals living in the sea release, it can cause irritation to the eyes and the mucous membranes. Another substance that was discovered was nitryl chloride which is a respiratory inhibitor but is the most of it is broken down by the sun.

So are beach holidays good for you? If you make sure that you take care of yourself, then these holidays are great for you, relieving stress is key. Is this all really enough to prevent abyone going to the sea, the bad points aren’t strong enough. So if you planning weddings abroad then go for it, swim in the sea and enjoy the sun.
