HELTH TIP OF THE WEEK Let´s go the Beach! We all love going to the beach and relaxing. But is not just a pleasurable experience ...did you know that the beach provides countless health benefits too? The Salt Water Many of us have been told that sea water is good for us. We have been told to “take our troubles to the water.” But what does the ocean really do for our health. First of all, sea water is a miracle treatment for acne and semi-permanent scars. Salt is an excellent curing, clearing, and cleansing agent. Salt water heals cuts and sores. Also acts as a natural shampoo cleaning all the oils from your hair. Bathing in sea water also adds volume to your hair, and acts as an exfoliant to your scalp. It clears your nasal passage ways. Finally, swimming in sea water makes you stay fit. This is perhaps the most conventional of the benefits of the beach. When you are swimming, you use muscles in your shoulders, arms, and legs which aren’t used in any other activity. That’s why swimming is often recommended as a great way to exercise. The Sand Obviously, at the beach, sand is everywhere. We walk on it, we burry ourselves on it, we even play with it. But what do these little grains of rock contribute to us? Most importantly, sand is a natural exfoliant. The finer the sand, the better the exfoliation. It is important to exfoliate your body because you are simultaneously stripping away dead skin cells, thereby making your skin soft to the touch, and also allowing your pores to breathe better. Walking in sand also helps you stay fit. You burn up more calories walking on sand, plus since your muscles are trying so hard to get traction, they get toned a lot faster. The Sun and Heat We all love to bathe in the sun’s warm rays, but this delicious relaxing activity can also help your body and mind. It is a well known fact that human being should spend at least half an hour in full sun daily. Light from the sun stimulates the Vitamin D production in your body. This represent a fat soluble vitamin, or a sterior hormone, reduce your risk of heart attacks, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, and depression while also boosting your immune system, reducing acne, and combating type Ii Diabetes and helps to dramatically reduce your risk of cancer.. Don’t forget to put on sunscreen of at least SPF 15, because this way you will still get Vitamin D and a tan while not getting skin cancer. It turns out that staying in the sun also makes you happier. Finally, the sun (and consequently the heat) also makes you perspire which, as it turn out, raises your level of circulation and your metabolism. Sweating is very healthy, it helps your body rid itself of excess toxins while also helping it cool off. The stimulation of perspiration makes your heart rate increase and also increases our metabolism, so don’t be afraid to let out the sweat! Escape to Los Cabos, stay in Alegranza and enjoy your get away!
