Sea as a free drug

Is the sea a "disease" or the best free drug in the world?

It is said that the Sea is like a disease, that when you "get it" you don't "heal" it anymore.

We are all more or less consciously bewitched by this spell.

The sea, in fact, sweeps away the disorders of everyday life and helps us to find our balance.

For children, the sea is certainly synonymous with free movement, being able to walk barefoot and play safely in the waves. It is synonymous with carefree and movement in nature. 

But what are the tangible advantages of a beach holiday?

For adults, in addition to an advantage for the spirit, it is a real cure-all for the body.

It is said to "cure" at least 16 ailments. Let's see some of them:

PURIFIES THE ORGANISM AND IMPROVES THE BREATHING

The splashes of the waves breaking on the shore create a real “marine aerosol”. The wind, in fact, releases iodine, potassium, sodium chloride, magnesium, silicon and bromine into the air.

A real free "inhalation treatment" since it does not contain allergens.

Therefore, it counteracts annoying allergic rhinitis, fights asthma and, by inhaling these precious highly concentrated mineral salts, sinusitis is prevented. A real natural antibiotic!

ACTIVATES CIRCULATION AND COMBATS WATER RETENTION

It is enough to immerse yourself in fresh water and the natural wave massage will reactivate your circulation. It is a very common practice, even in the mildest seasons, to walk along the shoreline with water that reaches mid-thigh to take advantage of this "cuddle" of the sea.

FIXES VITAMIN D

Exposing yourself to the sun allows our body to fix vitamin D in the bones: a real "cement" both for growing children and for fighting osteoporosis. 

INCREASES MUSCLE TONE AND HAS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY POWER

Do you know how many muscles are activated while we swim?

The muscles of the arms, legs, pectorals, back and abdominals. Do you know a more complete sport?

In water, the body is forced to move even deeper muscle groups. Among the great advantages of a few strokes in the sea are certainly those of being able to do activities "in weightlessness" and not weighing on the articulations that benefit from it.

In addition, the mineral salts contained in seawater have anti-inflammatory properties, both for the skin, but also blocked articulations will find a remedy, especially if merged together with a combination of physical exercise.

FIGHTS STRESS AND INSOMNIA

A whole day spent on the beach, exposing yourself to the sun, breathing magnesium by the sea, listening to the incessant music of the waves crashing on the shoreline.

These are just some of the activities that will help you relax and regain balance and sleep better. The sea is an extraordinary calming agent!
