Bathing and water procedures have long been a means of relieving stress, strengthening muscles and joints, healing and hardening. The first pools appeared in ancient Greece and in Rome. Initially, they served as a large bathtub. In the Renaissance and Enlightenment, pools appear that perform a decorative function. They are installed in parks, recreation areas, in squares. Sometimes they are supplemented with fountains.
Now the pool is a way to rest and relax, restore strength after a hard day's work. However, it is also a great workout.
Types of pools
Pools are classified according to their purpose. The first group consists of sports pools - for training and sporting events. The second group is healing and rehabilitation. They can be indoor or outdoor. This group includes a pool with sea water (in Moscow, as in other cities, this type is not very common), with mineral water, and water from thermal springs. They are equipped with saunas, playgrounds, sun loungers and other amenities. This is a great way to spend a weekend or evening.
Saltwater pool: benefits and benefits
The benefits of sea water have long been known, and it is due to its composition. First of all, sea water is rich in salts and minerals. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It is no coincidence that some skin diseases are treated at sea resorts. A seawater pool in Moscow is an opportunity to improve your health without having to go anywhere. Such baths increase the protective functions of the body and strengthen the immune system, reduce the risk of colds and SARS.
It should be noted that a heated seawater pool is an even rarer species, but more effective. When heated, minerals penetrate better into the human skin, due to the temperature effect, water acts more effectively on the joints. Vapors near water become much more active, which increases the effect on the respiratory system. In addition, it is much more pleasant to swim in warm water.
Water in such pools is taken from underground mineral sources. It is cleaned with ultraviolet light or a sand filter. In ordinary pools, the chlorination method is used. Chlorine dries the skin very much, irritates the eyes.
