Is it good for your health to go on a Caribbean holiday?
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? Let’s 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…
What’s better than going to the beach and having a good swim? Swimming is supposed to be the best exercise form for you; it gets every muscle working together, and your heart will get pumping blood at a constant rate. While you are swimming you are making your heart work harder, this in turn, helps blood flow around the body and you can do all this while having fun. Sea water is very good for your skin, so if you go swimming as well you get exercise too. Permanent scars and acne can be cleared up with the high salt levels in the sea.
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. High stress levels can cause many different problems, heart disease and skin problems are the most common. Controlling stress levels will reduce chances of getting a medical illness. 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, let’s say you were looking at Caribbean holidays for example. You’re surrounded by beaches, everywhere you go. The sun is going to be following you wherever you go. The sun although is good for you in small doses is pretty bad for in high doses, as some of you will know. We just get over-cooked if we stay in the sun too long, we have all done it at some point, then we notice skin peeling and run for a shadow.
In recent studies it has been shown that the sea air isn’t actually that brilliant for you. Although the air is cleaner than that, say in a city, it contains some interesting substances. Try not to get to worried its not as bad as it sounds. Over and around the sea is a substance called DMS (dimethyl sulphide), it’s released by animals and plants in the sea and irritates the eyes and mucous membranes (nose), and it is also that smell you detect when you are near the sea. 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 do some exercise and look after yourself then yes it is very good for you especially seeing as it relieves stress. 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.
