Going to the beach is good for you!
Going to the sea is already good for the simple fact that you are on vacation, but if you want to be precise it is not just a matter of breaking away from everyday life that makes our body feel so rejuvenated every time we manage to make a jump, even a brief one, to the beach.
The answer lies in the elements found in nature in seaside locations: sun, saltwater, and iodine.
It is no secret that exposure to sunlight, of course always with due precautions, is good because it stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D, a very important vitamin for the skin, bones, and other issues related, for example, to rheumatism. Not to mention that natural light, especially if intense, prevents depression: those who suffer from meteoropathy certainly know something about it.
Saltwater, on the other hand, has anti-inflammatory properties that perhaps not everyone knows. Those who suffer from eczema can benefit greatly from sea baths thanks to the antibacterial action of seawater. The salts dissolved in the water perform a deep cleaning of the pores which, when in contact with the salinity of the sea, tend to open up, eliminating waste.
Circulation is reactivated, and this helps improve the conditions of those who have problems with cellulite or water retention. The pressure to which the body is subjected while immersed in water is greater than usual and consequently undergoes a draining action particularly indicated for those who often experience tired legs or swelling in the ankles. Added to the pressure is: the temperature a bit lower than body temperature and the movement generated by the waves which guarantees immediate relief for those who immerse themselves.
Iodine is an element that greatly helps those with thyroid problems. At the sea, it is possible to breathe it in on the shore, so you can take care of yourself without even realizing it. Breathing iodine should be combined with a good diet that can help reach the necessary amount every day. The foods richest in it are mainly: fish, shellfish, fruits, and vegetables
