Why do they go on these holidays, do they all have one reason to do so? The Caribbean is warm and sunny; you have all the beaches and many other attractions, but are these reasons why….

Do they go on Caribbean holidays just to get away from it all? It’s understandable that they would like to just get away and sit by the beach and let everything go. All of them do need to chill out sometimes, its not an easy life. Do they just want that bit of privacy where the papers and photographers will just leave them alone so they can enjoy their luxury holidays?

They might do, but they possibly don’t. What if they know exactly what they are doing, they go to these “private” places to get some more exposure. Surely they know that they will get spotted at some point, maybe they choose to forget about it and let it happen. If you go to the Caribbean you don’t really go there to relax, it is a more of fun atmosphere especially when you go to Babados or the Bahamas. They could also be going over there to get away with things that wouldn’t normally be able to do back at home, let’s put it this way, their not all angels.

Now there is one other reason that they go over to the Caribbean, probably not as much as the others but it has happened. They go over there to find love… Paris Hilton has just found “love” maybe it will work for everybody. So what’s next for the celebrity after all they already have weddings abroad, maybe we should join them. If we started swarming these places would they stop going? It does appear as though they go over there for a holiday, but they do manage to get into the papers quite a lot and from a lot of angles.

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.
