10 tips where to go for wellness before Christmas

Positive effects of wellness

As we all know, wellness has positive effects mainly on our psyche, but what are the positive effects on our body?

Sauna

A very popular choice for wellness is sauna bathing. This Finnish relaxation activity has roots going back 2,000 years. In that time, sauna bathing has become a worldwide phenomenon, with scientific studies supporting its benefits. A 2018 review of the findings shows that regular sauna use has positive effects on blood pressure regulation, also helps to relieve pain in rheumatoid arthritis, relieves headaches and supports the respiratory system.

People with cardiovascular disease in particular should be careful when using the sauna and should use it in moderation. This is because sauna use can increase heart rate and blood pressure.

Swimming pool

Larger wellness centres often have swimming pools. Swimming is one of the healthiest types of physical activity, as you engage almost all your muscles and don't strain your joints. Other benefits of swimming, according to science, include reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and reducing stress, anxiety and depression, thanks to the rhythmic movements that help the mind and body relax more easily.
