5 Reasons to Swim In Natural Waters such as Rivers, Waterfalls…

1.Contact with natural waters stimulates and boost the immune system
People should swim in the natural waters of lakes, rivers, waterfalls and the sea instead of the toxic chemical soup of swimming pools. Natural waters are full of life, biological energy from plants and different creatures, minerals, enzymes, and many other beneficial substances. Swimming in natural waters has been prized as a therapy for many health problems for centuries. Obviously, you have to make sure the water you swim in is as far as possible from any source of industrial pollution. Swimming in natural waters is also listed in her Top 10 Immunity Boosters

2.Swimming in natural waters triggers the release of endorphins
Endorphins are self-made chemicals that give us the happy, satisfied feelings of well-being. Hence Swimming in natural waters triggers the release of endorphins

3.Natural waters swimming jump starts blood circulation
Flushing, moving, cleansing the skin, and going back to the inner organs. You can enhance this process by taking a sauna and then jumping into cold water…talk about an electric feeling!

4.Natural waters are essential to a healthy, outdoor life
Part of the every day (mostly outdoors) routine is an early morning bath in the river. Young and old bathed before sunrise and dried off by the fire (no towels…no laundry…sounds good to me). It is good to be outside as much as possible.

5.Natural waters are a great way to play (which we all need more of!)
Most of us know intuitively the importance of play for children. Maybe far less of us realize that play is necessary for adult health and mental well-being as well.
Motherhood and life are tough jobs, and if we are not careful to care for ourselves, we will lose that sense of playfulness that is so vital to our well-being.

River, jumping from rock to rock, dipping in the swimming holes, figuring out how to navigate around small waterfalls…adventure and improvisation is so invigorating
So, let’s get in the natural waters, shall we?
