Every year on April, the World Health Day is celebrated around the world, and even though this day is celebrated just once a year, our health is something we must pay attention to every day, because a healthy body is which helps us keep going and live a full life day after day.

The Canary Islands are one of the destinations that has been known since the times of Ancient Greece for the multiple benefits they provide to relieve certain conditions and reverse some illnesses. And what better destination you can choose to disconnect from routine and give your body a well-deserved rest than at the establishments of PY Hotels & Resorts, in Tenerife and Lanzarote, where you will enjoy the numerous benefits of the Canary weather for your health, as we tell you below:

• Relieve stress near the sea. It has been proved that the proximity to the sea helps us relax and forget about worries, in the same way that the sounds of the sea help improve our rest, increasing the levels of serotonin, which is in charge of keeping us in a good mood, even easing illnesses as depression.

• The influence of the sea also helps reverse heart diseases, such as high blood pressure. Due to the atmospheric pressure and the biggest amount of oxygen in the environment, the oxygen levels in our blood are increased, which helps regulate high blood pressure.

• The sea breeze also has positive effects in our body. Not only does feeling the air on our skin relax us, but it also decongests our airways, soothing this way related conditions, since the respiratory system is cleansed.

• Minerals present in sea water, like iodine and magnesium, help our muscles relax and reduce joint overuse injuries, besides soothing body aches in rheumatic diseases. They also favour skin cell regeneration and wound healing. If you do not feel like diving into the Atlantic, you still have the option of enjoying all these benefits in the most comfortable way, thanks to the sea magnesium cures of the Thalasso Center at our Hotel Princesa Yaiza.

• Walking on the sand is one of the best exercises you can do on the beach. As you take a quiet stroll, you will strengthen your muscles, you will stimulate your foot nerve endings and, in addition, the sand will act as a natural exfoliator.

• Although sunbathing for too long can cause burns on our skin, sparingly and having the adequate protection, sunlight is essential for our health. The vitamin D the sunlight provides us with is basic for calcium absorption and, as a result, necessary for a proper bone formation. To this must be added the fact that sunlight helps produce endorphins, the hormones of happiness, responsible to create a sense of wellbeing and reduce the feeling of pain.
