The mountains beneficial effects

The mountains beneficial effects are many, in winter as well! The cold, sun and the fresh air in the mountains are our health friends, of course in the right quantities. First of all, the dry and pure mountain air cleans up the respiratory system; a holiday in the mountains is recommended if a persons suffers of deafness. Even if it might seem a paradox, cold weather is a good ally of our health, if "taken" in small doses…the Romans said "in frigor salus", "there´s health in the cold weather", many years ago already. Cold air tones your skin naturally…many wellness centres in South Tyrol propose criotherapy as an anti-wrinkles and anti-cellulite therapy, while movie stars…keep their cosmetics in the fridge! The sun stimulates the vitamin D production, but it´s always better to protect your skin with very high filters, not to burn. Mountain sports like skiing and ice-skating give you the possibility of burning many calories, as they take place in the cold…you can allow yourself a slice of strudel with whipped cream with a cup of hot chocolate without many senses of guilt!
