Can the beach be good for your health?
Everybody thinks that the seaside is the place where you can fill your lungs with good old fashioned “sea air”, but how good is this sea air for you? 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? 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. Your heart will work harder when you are swimming, this is great because you get a good bit of exercise, and because your having fun you don't even realise. Coupled with swimming in the sea is the sea water itself, sea water is very good for your skin. 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). The sunlight provides our skin with Vitamin D which helps to defend against skin cancer and multiple sclerosis.
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. Stress is a cause of all kinds of medical problems ranging from skin problems to heart disease. Stress can cause health problems, and getting this under control could really help. 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. Everywhere you look there are beaches all around. Getting away from the sun wont be an option. In high amounts the sun wont be very good for you, some of us will know what it can do. 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 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. There is a substance that is released by animals in the sea called DMS (dimethyl sulphide), this substance floats around the sea and the beaches and irritates the eyes and nose, it also has that smell you detect when your at the seaside. The sun helps to remove another substance that was discovered called nitryl choliride, this affects our breathing.
So are beach holidays good for you? Stress can really make a difference in your life so if you do go on holiday this is what you want to remove, if you do then holidays like this are good for you. The bad points aren’t really strong enough to deter anybody going to the seaside. So if you planning weddings abroad then go for it, swim in the sea and enjoy the sun.

I am thoroughly enjoying Eugene Hynes's _Knock: The Virgin's Apparition in
19th Century Ireland_. And it's so seasonal! Although I keep forgetting it's
about to be Christmas, as there is not the relentless creepy carols sung by
creepy children's choirs blaring at every grocery store and shopping center.
(Talking on the phone with a friend last night, he was walking through a strip
mall and I could hear the insistent trill of the Sugar Plum Fairy loud and
clear. It was the first dose of Christmas I had gotten in a while.)
Anyway! What were we talking about? This wonderful book. Hynes has laid an
extensive foundation to explain and support his theory that Irish peasants
were not a bunch of wackos. And I particularly enjoyed this section:
_In a critique of the way American history is presented in US school
textbooks, James Loewen made a point that has broader application. He quotes
from one typical text's description of the religion of the continent's
original peoples:_
"These Native Americans [in the south-west] believed that nature was filled
with spirits. Each form of life, such as plants and animals, had a spirit.
Earth and air held spirits, ...
