A very evocative photo, the one above, from which it occurred to us to take up a topic that is, in its own way, “hot” this season: the sea, even in winter when it is cold, is great for you! In fact, boating and being in contact with the sea are good allies for humans, especially when we are crushed by stress and work.

Relax
Relaxation is very important and to maintain good health. Blue is the color of the sea and is generally considered a relaxing color for the eyes and mind.

Winter symptoms
Seaside areas, being generally windier, often have cleaner air. It should also be considered that contact with this environment stimulates the immune system and thus helps us stay healthy and respond better to illness and flu symptoms. In addition, the sea is a real panacea for allergy sufferers because it acts as a natural aerosol by making respiratory symptoms improve, thanks to the presence of iodine, which is also recommended for those suffering from reduced thyroid functioning.
Activities
The sea is not only experienced in summer, but also during winter. As you leave the harbor in winter you will rediscover the pleasure of going to sea when there is no one around you. Besides, fishing in winter can also prove “profitable,” you just need to know how to do it.
