The closer is the snowfalls and severe frosts period the more is the wish to run away from all these winter "amenities" to the warm countries. At least for two weeks… And only the obstinate physicians repeat over and over again that the winter rest in tropical countries can bring not only pleasure and bright impressions.
A "velvet" season begins in the majority of tropical countries - whether it is Egypt or Thailand - namely in winter. The climate becomes the most favorable at this time. But a departure for the warm countries is simply necessary to the North inhabitants constantly feeling lack of sunlight.
The change of conditions also is the best way to cope with the seasonal spleen. Probably, everyone of us is familiar with the breakdown, apathy, sleepiness, rapid fatigability - the winter presages. Namely a travel to one of the tropical countries in winter is the most successful way out. It is an experienced feeling as getting from the hot bath in the ice cold water in an ice hole and back, only it invigorates more strongly and longly.
Due to such a "contrast" rest people can be filled with health. Among these people are those who have problems with the increased function of a thyroid gland, lungs, and those for whom a strong heat and a dry air, peculiar to the exotic countries climate during the summer period, are for some or the other reason contra-indicated. But fresh air, rich with the particles of mineral salts, strengthens the respiratory system and salutary influences the elderly people’s health.
Well, but it isn’t necessary to remind once again about the fact that under the solar beams the bad mood and stresses disappear themselves. The warm sun, fresh air and the tender sea quickly will help you to distract from the daily cares, to cheer up and restore mental equilibrium. But various tours, cruises, excursions and the other resort entertainments will bring many positive emotions which sometimes do not suffice to us in the course of the usual life so much.
But such a rest also has its negative sides. The obstinate physicians repeat that such contrasts can bring not only a pleasure and bright impressions, but also a considerable harm to health as well.
As a rule, planning the trip, we miss the important nuances which can bring all the travel advantage to nothing. We overlook that our organism is disposed to the certain climatic conditions, sharp change of which can do much harm to health. The organism reacts most painfully to the change of the climate in winter – namely then, when we get tired to look at the cloudy winter sky and dirty snowdrifts, and suddenly we appear on the gold beaches of Egypt or Morocco. And here we start to be perplexed, why we are suddenly came down from the illnesses namely at the height of the fantastic rest.
It is necessary to take into account that at moving from winter into summer our organism needs enough time to be disposed to a new way - in fact, our "internal timepiece" still goes in the old way! Especially, it is a typical problem for the travelers, suffering from the cardiovascular diseases, nervous system disorders, and also for asthmatics.
On the most solar coast we are threatened with the ultra-violet beams overabundance which can provoke the occurrence of various skin diseases and allergic reactions. It also can be dangerous for the hypotensive and hypertensive patients.
Besides, if you are concerned about your appearance, be ready to the fact that the active "unusual" sun can dry up and expose your skin to the wind. Or, on the contrary, it will suffer from the excessive sweating. It, in its turn, is fraught with the "clogged" skin pores, pimples and the other doubtful pleasures.
Also you should not forget about those surprises which a sharp transition from our "winter" carbohydrate diet to the lavish exotic meal can present to us. The organism has to be mobilized quickly for transition to the new metabolism type. Besides, the "foreign" water, the unusual composition of products and exotic combinations of dishes can take our digestive system unawares.
Also it is necessary to take into account that the reverse acclimatization process after returning from summer in winter also can appear unhealthy. If to ignore it, a depression, breakdown, appetite decrease, cold can appear … and all pleasure from a rest are down the drain.
In this case doctors advise, planning the winter rest, "to consult" not only with one’s own desires, but also with one’s health. If it is fine, go with confidence - your organism will acclimatize quickly and without serious consequences.
If it - your organism - is weakened by an illness or something another, it will be difficult for it to adapt itself to the "foreign" conditions. So, in this case, it is better to spend the winter holidays in more traditional conditions. |
