SWIMMING HEALS

 In this article, we are going to talk about swimming as a beneficial sport that counteracts and combats disorders large and small with Lifeguard Training. It is an effective ally that not only leads to general well-being, but goes much further, treating diseases and imperfections and significantly improving quality of life. Let's review some examples:

Bloating and water retention

The feeling of heaviness, poor circulation and blemishes such as sagging thighs are often attributable to water retention. You can blame an unhealthy diet , an excessive consumption of sodium and junk food (rich in sugars and saturated fats… so be careful!), or even laziness that leads us to prefer the sofa to healthy physical activity. Other times, the cause of the retention could be clothing that is too tight , such as jeans and stockings that do not allow adequate circulation in the legs. There is a solution, and you can find it in the pool: swimming is really a lymphatic drainage massage, which is even more effective if you support it with tools such as fins, floating tubes or balls to increase the reaction of the lower and upper extremities with American Lifeguard Florida.

Stroke against stress, anxiety and depression

Stress and anxiety are a "side effect" of time , the frenetic life that characterizes our society and the large number of tasks and commitments that sometimes we are not able to fulfill. We often feel like our hearts are in our throats, palpitations, magnified worries that seem like we can't face them, and a constant sense of alertness. Don't worry, it's probably common anxiety, but if not treated properly it can lead to depression and panic attacks.

Did you know that sports can be a real complete cure to counter this unpleasant guest? Exactly, because by releasing serotonin, physical activity reduces the effects of stress and reshapes the way we perceive our worries . Swimming, a sport that we will never get tired of repeating, provides great physical and mental benefits. It offers a sensation of relaxation and massage, putting you in contact with an element, water, which takes us unconsciously to the prenatal phase when we were calmly pampered inside our mother's womb.

Say goodbye to cellulite thanks to lymphatic drainage

Spinning, Aquabiking and Crossfit Water are some of the new, complete and effective disciplines that give good results in a short time. If you suffer from cellulite (don't worry, you're in good company), these aquatic activities are particularly designed for this because they help soothe the tissues, eliminate excess fluids and burn a lot of calories (from 800 to 1,000 in an hour of training).

The ideal frequency? At least 2-3 sessions per week to see your thighs and butt start to slim down in no time. The exercises are done to the beat of the music, and the exercises include sit-ups on the side of the pool, bicycle, and squats that must be performed with the support of specific tools. Cellulite, exercise after exercise, will "melt" and your skin will recover its compactness and smoothness.

Water also counteracts varicose veins

Yes, it's true, swimming can help fight against imperfections and those annoying varicose veins. How? Once again, thanks to the powerful lymphatic massage that is possible with the natural action of water . The cause of varicose veins is due, in fact, to venous insufficiency that leads to the accumulation of blood in certain areas of the lower extremities.

Factors such as obesity, inadequate posture and a sedentary life, unfortunately very typical in Western societies, accentuate this disorder, which in some cases may require invasive treatments such as surgery. In other cases, if you already have varicose veins and they bother you, you can use elastic stockings, perform endovascular treatments using laser or radiofrequency technology, or resort to specific medicine. But, in an effective preventive measure, constant physical activity dedicated to it, such as swimming or running, cannot be lacking.
