Is sea air actually that go for you, everyone seems to have the concept that sea air is great fresh air, but how good is it? 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? Swimming is supposed to be the best exercise form for you; it gets every muscle working together, and your heart will get pumping blood at a constant rate. Swimming forces your heart to work harder but not to over do it, this helps you to get a good amount of exercise even while you are playing in the sea. Sea water is very good for your skin, so if you go swimming as well you get exercise too. The high salt levels help to clear up acne and permanent scars.

The sun is also good for your skin (in small doses). The rays of the sun supply our skin with vitamin D and it has been shown this helps fight skin cancer and could help prevent 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. Medical problems can be caused by stress, you could have a heart attack or develop skin diseases. Making sure that you dont get too stressed, will help reduce chances of medical problems. 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. The minute you get there you arlready on a beach somewhere. Getting away from the sun wont be an option. The sun isnt always good for you, in high amounts it can be very bad for you. 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. Usually the sea air is very clean, and in most cases is than anywhere else, but it does have some nasty substances in it. Now don’t get all paranoid it’s not serious but it is worth noting. 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. Nitryl chloride is a second substance that was found by the beach and in the sea, it is a respiratory inhibitor, which means we find it hard to breathe but it is reduced in amount by the sun.

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. Nobody is going to stop going to the beach or going on holiday, the bad points aren’t bad enough yet. So if you planning weddings abroad then go for it, swim in the sea and enjoy the sun.
