Let's go to the beach! Rules of conduct on the beach or how to stay healthy after a vacation ...

The long-awaited summer has finally arrived. Many threw simple belongings (or luxurious outfits) into travel bags and rushed to the sea.
The bright sun, hot sand and gentle sea (lake, river) welcome everyone with open arms. But by the evening, many people's mood deteriorates sharply, their health worsens because they are overheated, burned, overtired ...
From us, the sea - that's how we call our Kapshagai reservoir - is half an hour's walk away. And we occasionally make trips to the beach.

It is interesting to watch the holidaymakers! And I concluded that many do not know elementary things. Or just forgot.

Do you know how most vacationers start swimming? A car drives up, a group of tortured people, flushed from a long drive, falls out. Those who arrived on the move take off their clothes, run into the water and abruptly plunge into it. Can you imagine the stress experienced by the body and heart! And if a person is "under a degree", then it's just terrible! And after all, they have a phrase prepared for this case: “Outside - 40 °, inside - 40 ° - that's the balance!”
Hence the heat stroke, and the sun, hypothermia from a long stay in the water, convulsions.
How should you behave on the beach?
1. If a person is hot, you can not immediately climb into the water. You need to walk along the shore, go to shallow water, wash your hands, feet, neck with water (especially if the water is cold). And then slowly go deeper.
2. You can not swim to the state of bluish lips and "goose bumps". Everything needs a measure.
And after you got out of the water, it is advisable to wipe yourself with a towel so that drops of water do not provoke a burn.

3. How many sunbathe? They lie down on the sand and lie for an hour or two, until the skin turns red-brown. But it is very harmful for the skin! Moreover, the lighter the skin, the more active the ultraviolet rays affect it. And their excess can provoke even skin cancer.

How to protect your skin from UV rays

It is necessary to lubricate the skin with sunscreen 20 minutes before going to the beach. During this time, the skin will absorb the sunscreen.
The cream must be waterproof.
You can sunbathe in the morning from 9 am to 11 am or after 5 pm, when the activity of the sun subsides.
You need to sunbathe on the move, playing volleyball or just walking along the beach, exposing all parts of the body to the sun evenly.

You need to periodically go into the shade or hide under a canopy. After all, even in the shade, a person can successfully tan, and without harm to health.
To avoid getting sunstroke, be sure to wear a hat.

You also need to drink more liquid, preferably cool water acidified with lemon juice. After all, when a person is hot, a large amount of liquid is released from the body along with sweat, and with it useful trace elements: sodium, potassium, magnesium. This is bad for the circulatory system and heart function.
Many people walk barefoot on the beach without thinking about the danger they are putting themselves in.
The culture of behavior of some citizens leaves much to be desired. Glasses and broken bottles are the result of their vigorous activity.

You can also pick up a fungal infection. After all, the fungus reproduces well in a warm, humid environment, and short-term contact with the fungus is enough to become infected. Therefore, I always walk along the beach in shales.
If the reservoir is located in an Asian country, then you can step on a scorpion, which is attached under a leaf or a pebble. And if the passage to the water goes through thickets of grass, then you can run into a viper.
What am I all about the sad.

The benefits of swimming

During swimming, all muscle groups are involved, which is very useful for the spine and joints.

When swimming, the cervical vertebrae work. After all, when we walk, we most often look under our feet - the head is lowered. And when swimming, we are forced to raise our heads so as not to sip water. This is a good exercise for osteochondrosis.

It is believed that daily swimming promotes weight loss. I don’t know how true this is, but it is, of course, useful for improving posture and strengthening muscles.

What to eat on the beach

Many on the beach arrange real feasts! What is not on the impromptu table! And chicken, and sausage, and potatoes. Even mayonnaise!
But after all, firstly, it all quickly deteriorates in the sun. And secondly, it is generally undesirable to eat fatty and high-calorie foods in the heat. Optimal food: sour fruits, apples, tomatoes, cucumbers. They have a lot of juice, which will help replenish the loss of fluid.
When you return home, be sure to take a shower and wash yourself with warm water.
If you are still burned, the body should be lubricated with a moisturizer. You can use regular low-fat sour cream or sour milk. But with alcohol and cologne, as some practice, it is impossible to lubricate the skin. As well as lubricate the burnt places with a greasy cream. This can make you feel worse. Yes, and washing with soap in this case is also not recommended.
I hope that these simple recommendations will help make your stay on the beach comfortable and your vacation unforgettable.
