It is argued that holidays abroad can be very good for your general health, but the main problem is the heat. There is a lot of evidence to support that the sun can actually be extremely damaging to peoples general health. It can’t really be as bad as this though, can it?

If you live in the Caribbean you will find that you can deal with the heat a lot better than others from colder countries. If you don’t visit that often, then it will be harder to cope with. The time it takes to burn the skin without sun lotion is minimal in hot countries. This is an area that needs to be focused on, the sun can cause a lot of damage to the skin, but only in extreme doses.

In order to stop you getting sun burnt, make sure that you apply sun cream. This simply moisturises into the skin but provides block from the damaging rays of the sun. We do have to take into account some of these problems, but what are they? Sometimes the extreme heat can cause you to feel nausea or can cause some people to pass out. This can become sun stroke, which isn’t fun for anybody. Amy Winehouse seems to be the latest victim of Sun Stroke, claiming that Michael Jackson spoke to her in her dreams and told her to stop taking drugs.

The best way to combat sun stroke are to get under the shade every now and then to cover yourself. Many people believe that swimming in the sea or in a pool can actually help dull the effects of sun burn or sun stroke. However this is not the point, although it can help with sun stroke, if you don’t have any sun lotion on, then it can actually be much worse than normal.

Although the sun does have the ability to be a bad thing, if you’re careful Caribbean holidays and Diving holidays can be enjoyable.

The only problem with holidays in hot places, is not taking care of yourself when the sun starts beating down. There is much proof, that shows the sun can damage people’s health quite severely. Can it really be that bad though?

Most of the people that were either born in the Caribbean or have lived there for a long time will have more tolerance to the sun. If you don’t visit that often, then it will be harder to cope with. The time it takes to burn the skin without sun lotion is minimal in hot countries. But this can only happen if this is not treated well, if you don’t keep an eye on it, then it could get very bad, in some extreme circumstances resulting in skin cancer.

The best way to look after your skin in the sun, and probably the easiest, is to just apply some sun screen. This simply moisturises into the skin but provides block from the damaging rays of the sun. What we need to determine, is how serious are these problems? Becoming sleepy and feeling off balance is a sign that the sun and the heat are really getting to you. The problem is this can manifest itself as sun stroke. Amy Winehouse seems to be the latest victim of Sun Stroke, claiming that Michael Jackson spoke to her in her dreams and told her to stop taking drugs.

The best way to combat sun stroke are to get under the shade every now and then to cover yourself. People often have the misconception that swimming can prevent sun stroke and sun burn. Unfortunately this is not the case, although it does help with sun stroke, if you don’t have any sun cream or lotion on, then it can actually be much worse than normal.

Although the sun does have the ability to be a bad thing, if you’re careful Caribbean holidays and Diving holidays can be enjoyable.

It was time for me to get out of the country and go on a decent holiday. It was time that i went and got on a plane and got away from everything, i have been working as a lawyer non-stop for the past 15 years and needed some time to relax. So starting off this new journey, what better idea is there than heading off to the Caribbean?

So I booked a two week holiday that would take me to three islands. First off, was the Bahamas, the largest of the three islands. I thought to myself that when i get here i just want to chill by the beach, little did i know i was going to find something i really wanted to try. The dolphins were amazing, I went swimming with them and they almost seemed to be very patient with me. Probably the smartest animal in the world, they are very friendly and intelligent. Any cost is worth this experience, i had one whole hour on my own with a trainer and a dolphin. The Bahamas was great, so far Caribbean holidays, well worth it.

So next I was taken to St Lucia. This was a pretty island, it’s beauty enthralled me, i even spotted myself a celebrity in the form of Amy Winehouse. Everyone kept on describing St Lucia to me as a sandy island with beaches and clear blue seas, which is true, but they forgot to mention the rain forest as well. Our guide took us out on a safari in the Caribbean, truly amazing. I had heard a lot about St Lucia holidays, but seeing it first hand was brilliant.

Next up was a real treat, Barbados. I had been looking forward to this last part of my holiday, I have always wanted to go on Barbados holidays, but it has not been completely available to me. This was the night life island, going out in the evenings was great fun and I had the most wonderful time, I would recommend these holidays to anyone that asks.

For the majority of people going on holiday is all about getting away for a while, relaxing and distressing. For most people, a few weeks holiday per year is all they get, so they need to use them chill out. Of course everyone finds different types of holidays relaxing, from a luxury cruise to trekking the rain forest.Below are some of the best though.

Beach holidays.This type of holiday has been considered the archetypal relaxer’s holiday of choice for many years now. This is largely true because you can for the most part spend your days lying down, sipping cold drinks and getting a tan.  Some people however get stressed and flustered by hot weather, so whilst it is clearly a popular choice, it is not hands down winner.

Cruises. Cruise holidays, especially river cruise holidays are another popular choice for those seeking a relaxing time. There is everything you could possibly need on a cruise ship within a five minute walk, so you never need to worry about traveling around or forgetting to take anything with you. Also, you can get to experience some of the finest sites that earth has to offer without actually having to put any effort into getting there. Also with cruises such as Oceania cruises, you’ve got a high chance of enjoying some great sun as well so you don’t miss out here either.

City Breaks. This type of holiday may not immediately conjuror up images of relaxation for you. However, when you visit a new city you tend to enter tourist mode. This is a very strange phenomenon where tourists stroll around the city in a trance like state, studying the architecture and watching the people go about their business. The effect of this tends to cause people to become very relaxed and enter a happy-go-lucky state of mind, where they can really enjoy themselves and release any stress built up.

Sea air has received the general thought that it is fantastically good for you and that smell is a sign your lungs are filled with freshness, but how good is it 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? 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. 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. Medical problems can be caused by stress, you could have a heart attack or develop skin diseases. Controlling stress levels will reduce chances of getting a medical illness. 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. You cant help it, at some point you will be on a beach. The sun is going to be following you wherever you go. 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. This is worth taking down but dont panic its not all that serious. DMS (dimethyl sulphide) is a substance that animals living in the sea release, it can cause irritation to the eyes and the mucous membranes. 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? If you make sure that you take care of yourself, then these holidays are great for you, relieving stress is key. Is this all really enough to prevent abyone going to the sea, the bad points aren’t strong enough. So if you planning weddings abroad then go for it, swim in the sea and enjoy the sun.
