Where to vacation in the winter?

Some reason, still widely believed, though summer vacation is better than winter. Of course, when choosing a place and rest periods must take into account the age and degree of staying power, and the presence of chronic diseases. But we know that the climate is not simply some neutral environment, but also quite powerful self-healing factor. Climatotherapy - one of the most effective methods of health training and prevention, even treat certain diseases. Each season can be useful in his own person. But especially favorable for recreation and spa treatment during the winter months.

The fact that winter weather is usually just as stable as in summer. And the move, say, December - February at the resort in a different climatic zone does not cause changes and seasonal rhythms of physiological functions or during their stay, or return home, because in those months, almost throughout the country have already installed the winter season . And this is important for health.

After moving to resorts located in other landscape-climatic regions (eg from the middle zone to the south), in the transitional seasons, especially autumn, accompanied by a violation of customary rights to the seasonal rhythm. The conditions of autumn, early winter it gets without having to adapt to the weather conditions of summer, which entails, as a rule, the mismatch in the basic physiological functions of the body not only during the period of acclimatization in the resort, but on his return (from summer to winter) in the usual conditions residence.

In favor of the winter holiday says another important fact. As shown by studies in recent years in the winter the absolute amount of oxygen in the air an average of 10 - 15% more than in summer (in Moscow, for example, respectively, 300 - 320 and 250 - 270 g/m3). There is. why the winter season, with steady snow cover, moderately cold weather and increased oxygen content in air is favorable for an active aerotherapeutics in combination with exercise and sports in the fresh air. Good to know that winter is considerable difference between the amount of oxygen and air and indoor air at room temperature 18 °, this difference in average 10% and it increases rapidly with increasing temperature in the room. So walk in the winter - one of the most effective forms of natural oxygen therapy.

When choosing a place to relax in a different climatic zone, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the actual duration of the winter in different regions of the country do not always coincide with the calendar of deadlines - December - February. On the territory of CIS countries the duration of the winter ranges from 10 to 34 weeks. In the tundra, it begins in early October, on the Black Sea coast - in the first week of December, in Magadan winter lasts 5 months, in Vladivostok and Moscow - 4.5 months. The minimum duration of the winter (2-2,5 months) in the southern regions of the country: on the southern coast of Crimea, the Black, Caspian and Azov Seas, Ukraine, Byelorussia.

It is believed that the dead of winter in January. But on the Baltic Sea, for example, the coldest month - February. The warmest place in winter in our country - Gagra. Average monthly air temperature and January are up to plus 7 degrees.

Of course, not alone the temperature characteristic features of winter. Of great importance are the frequency and amount of precipitation (snow and rain in some areas), as well as the strength and direction of the wind. It is well known, for example, that low temperatures in Siberia due to wind and low humidity (dry cold) is transferred much more easily than the less severe frosts, for example, in the Orenburg steppes, which often winds, cold or wet in the coastal areas of the Black, Azov Seas where there may be no return of heat from the slush, often changing direction and wind speed. Such instability is particularly unfavorable weather for those suffering from respiratory diseases and musculoskeletal inflammatory disorders.

In areas from Tallinn to Klaipeda frequent storms, strong winds at this time are in Odessa. Theodosia. Anapa. In Novorossiysk on the sector Makhachkala - Baku boron and cold north blows quite frequently.

On the territory north of 43 ° north latitude, as a rule, there is a lack of ultraviolet radiation, which, of course, affects the overall condition of the organism and a number of diseases. The duration of the ultraviolet deficiency in the atmosphere in different regions of the country ranges from 1 to 5 - 6 months of the year. In winter, generally much shorter duration of daylight, and in areas north of 70 ° north latitude the polar night.

Favorable meteorological conditions for the rest f the season at the Riga seashore, where there is stable, as a rule, windless weather. Stable weather patterns in winter in the western and southern European country's territory in the south of Central Asia (in the region from the Caspian to the Aral Sea), in Transcarpathia, the Caucasus, in the Rostov region, as well as in Eastern Siberia and the Baikal region, where due to the dominance of the powerful Siberian anticyclone kept dry cold.

Where to go relax in the winter?

In the Caucasian Mineral Waters, at the Riga seaside resorts, climatic health resorts of the Karelian Isthmus favorable climatic conditions combined with balneotherapy natural mineral waters. The most optimal climatic conditions for rest and treatment occur in low and middle regions of Central Asia, Caucasus, the Carpathians, in these areas, even in winter in the atmosphere contains biologically active ultraviolet rays. And in the mountains inteisienost ultraviolet light in January, almost four times higher than in the middle lane on the plain.

Conditions for treatment and quenching in combination with various types of motor activity in the open air in the mountains ideal. The combination of moderate hypoxia on the background of cool air with low humidity and high concentration of light ions is the best natural training for basic vital physiological systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous.

Erroneous view that the treatment and rest are effective only on the southern resorts of the country. His supporters forget that in our country in any region of original, unique nature, unique mineral springs: the coast of the Oka, the forests of Belarus. Urals, Siberia and the Far East, the central region, the Central Asian republics. It won a good reputation established resorts. We call some of them. This Staraya Russa in the Novgorod region, "Khilovo in the Pskov region," Sergievskie mineral water "in the Kuibyshev region," Marcial Waters "in Karelia. In Siberia famous resort Darasun "(Chita Region). The resort "Lipetsk" under Peter I have discovered so-called "baderskie bath.

Deservedly popular resorts of Lake Issyk-Kul. Semenov-Tian-Shansky compared the Issyk-Kul with precious aquamarine set in silver snow-capped mountain ranges. This excellent climatic conditions for rest and treatment in all seasons: a unique combination of mountain and sea air, the abundance of sun, therapeutic mud, mineral water springs.

In conclusion, I would like to recall that the perfect rest, to strengthen their health while on vacation and you can without going far away from home. in the suburban areas in the parks. For peace and quiet, the correct mode of the day, motor activity in the fresh air - the best and most faithful healers. And in the winter for them will be added and bracing frost, white snow and pure air.
