Where to rest this winter?

Exciting and with health benefits you can relax in the winter. The silence of the winter forest, park or public garden, clean, oxygenated air in combination with physical activity - an excellent remedy for strengthening the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

For 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 presence of chronic diseases. But be aware that the climate is not just some neutral environment, but also quite powerful self-healing factor. Climatotherapy - one of the most effective methods of hardening and prevention, and even cure some diseases. Each season can be useful in their own person. But especially favorable for recreation and spa treatment during the winter months.
The fact that winter weather is usually stable as well as in summer. And moving to, say, December - February to resort to another climate zone do not cause changes in a seasonal rhythm of physiological functions or during their stay, or return home, because in those months, nearly the entire country has already established a winter season . And it is important for health.
After moving to resorts located in other landscape-climatic regions (eg, median strip to the south) in the transitional seasons, especially autumn, accompanied by a breach of customary rights of seasonal rhythm. Of the conditions of autumn, early winter, he, without prior adaptation hits the weather conditions of summer, which entails, as a rule, the mismatch of 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 a familiar environment permanent residence.
For the benefit of winter recreation says another significant fact. As demonstrated by recent investigations 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). That is why the winter season with a stable snow cover, moderately frosty weather and increased oxygen content in air is favorable for an active aerotherapy in conjunction with exercise and outdoor activities. Good to know that winter is significant difference between the amount of oxygen and air and indoor air at room temperature 18 °, this difference in the average is 10%, and it rapidly increases with increasing temperature in the room. Therefore, walking 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, the Black Sea coast - in the first week of December, in Magadan winter lasts for 5 months, in Vladivostok and Moscow - 4.5 months. The smallest length of 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, Belarus.
Assumed that the dead of winter in January. But on the Baltic coast, for example, the coldest month - February. The warmest place in winter in our country - Gagra. Average monthly air temperature in January is up to plus 7 degrees.
Of course, not only one temperature describes the features of the winter. Of great importance are the frequency and amount of precipitation (snow and rain in some areas), as well as wind strength and direction. It is well known, for example, that low temperatures in Siberia due to wind and low humidity (dry freezing) can be transferred much more easily than the less severe frosts, say, in the Orenburg steppe, which often winds, cold or wet in the coastal areas of the Black and Azov Seas where there may be no return of heat from the slush, often changing wind direction and 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 site Makhachkala - Baku cold boron and north blow quite often.
In the country north of 43 ° north latitude, as a rule, there is a lack of ultraviolet radiation, which certainly affects the overall health and for 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. Winter throughout much shorter daylight hours and in areas north of 70 ° north latitude polar night begins.
Favorable meteorological conditions for a holiday on the Riga coast, where there is a stable, generally windless weather. Stable weather patterns during the winter in the western and southern European Russia, southern Central Asia (the area from the Caspian to the Aral Sea), in the Carpathians, the Caucasus, in the Rostov region, as well as in Eastern Siberia and the Trans-Baikal region, where due to domination of the powerful Siberian anticyclone kept dry cold.  
Where do go to rest in the winter?
In the Caucasian Mineral Waters, at the Riga seaside resorts, climatic health resorts Isthmus favorable climatic conditions combined with a spa treatment of natural mineral waters. 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, present in the atmosphere of UV rays. And in the mountains inteisienost ultraviolet rays 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 physical activity outdoors in the mountains are 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.
Mistakenly believed that 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, the unique mineral water springs: Coast Okie, forests of Belarus. Urals, Siberia and Far East, Central Region, the Central Asian republics. Here there are winning good reputation resorts. We call some of them. This "Staraya Russa" in the Novgorod region, "Khilov in the Pskov region," Sergius mineral water in the Kuibyshev region, "Marcial Waters" in Karelia. In Siberia, the famous resort Darasun "(Chita Region). At a resort Lipetsk under Peter I opened the so-called "baderskie baths.
Deservedly popular resort of Issyk-Kul. Semenov-Tian-Shansky likened Lake Issyk-Kul with precious aquamarine in a silver frame snowy ridges. Here excellent climatic conditions for rest and treatment in all seasons: a unique combination of mountain and sea air, plenty of sun, mud, mineral water springs.
In conclusion, I would like to recall that a good rest, to strengthen their health while on vacation is possible and not going far away from home. in the countryside, in parks. After all, peace, silence, 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, snow white and clean air.
