Sea bath benefits
As a successful combination of hardening and movement effects, sea baths positively stimulate the whole human body. During the actual bathing we are exposed to the beneficial temperature, pressure and composition influence of the sea water and sun rays. But you must know that these baths should be carefully attended.
Nice sensations such as freshness, cheerfulness and rush of energy through the body are expressions of one good performed swim. And if your appetite had become stronger then this is a result of an increased metabolism.
Moving sea waves give massage to the body, so when you bath in a stormy sea your body gets much more stimulated. The foaming waves are rich in oxygen and the water mass brings tension into the muscles. That's why right after swimming you feel a nice fatigue - from the energy exhausted and the compensation heat produced in the body.
After swimming the sea-salt stays on the skin. If you leave it to dry under the sun rays way it'll keep the skin moisture which is good for some skin conditions.
Joint problems and bronchial conditions are also positively affected by the sun and sea. That's why after serious traumas these healing factors are recommended for anyone resting on the sea. Sea bathing is one of the most attractive of the sea-prophylactic and healing procedures - a major goal for the spa tourists.
Water temperature is one of the most important factors that must be taken into account prior bathing. Here are the three stages of seawater action during swimming:
I. Initial cooling - during entering the water
II. Active warming - the oxygen consumption gets higher, the blood vessels dilate and blood flows towards the body's surface.
III. Secondary shivering - indicates exhaustion of the body's thermo-regulating mechanism's.
When during swimming the pleasant warmth sense disappears then it's time for you to take a rest on the sand. If after swimming you feel weak or sleepy then the process has been longer than needed.
