⁠
3. Sea Water Slows Down the Development of Rheumatism⁠
Ocean water combined with exercise is a great medication for bone and muscle pain, arthritis, circulatory, and post-surgical issues.⁠
⁠
4. Sea Water Reduces and Eliminates Anxiety⁠

⁠
5. Sea water isgood for your sleep, breathing, large intestine, bones and liver.⁠

⁠
We literally live, eat, breathe all things ocean life. ⁠
⁠
We love the fact that seaweed can ⁠
⁠
🌿1. May support thyroid health⁠
⁠
Our thyroid gland is responsible for releasing hormones to help govern our growth, energy, reproduction and repair. In order to do this the thyroid has a need for a number of nutrients, one of which being iodine and another the amino acid tyrosine. Both of these nutrients are found in seaweed.⁠
⁠
🌿2. May support heart health⁠
⁠
Seaweeds may be used to help lower blood pressure and promote heart health. These benefits are in part thanks to high levels of soluble fibre as well as heart-healthy nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids.⁠
⁠
🌿3. May support gut health⁠
⁠
Seaweed is rich in dietary fibre, making up anywhere from 25-75% of its dry weight. Much of this fibre is in the form of polysaccharides, a type we can’t digest but the bacteria in our gut can, in this way the fibre acts as a prebiotic, a food source for our beneficial gut microbes.⁠
⁠
🌿4. May support immune function⁠
⁠
Some studies suggest compounds in seaweed may reduce viral load and potentially shorten the duration of a cold and minimise the risk of a secondary infection. More recent studies have looked at the potential of seaweed as an aid in our fight against Covid-19.⁠
⁠
🌿5. May balance blood sugar levels⁠
⁠
Studies suggest that including seaweed as part of a healthy, balanced diet may support blood sugar management and potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. This is thanks, in part, to compounds such as the carotenoid, fucoxanthin, which helps to reduce insulin resistance and supports better blood sugar control. ⁠

Open water swimming although thrilling and excitin

Open water swimming although thrilling and exciting is also more tiring and physically demanding than swimming in the pool. Here are 3 tips to help you⁠
⁠
🌊Tip 1 – Wide Arms⁠
In comparison to pool swimming and depending on the swell and wind conditions, ocean swimming can be bumpy and choppy. This can cause you to feel wobbly and unstable whilst you’re swimming. To counteract this feeling, keep your arms out wide whilst you are swimming. Think of this as your stabilisation. ⁠
⁠
🌊Tip 2 – Hold your catch⁠
One of the most common mistakes when swimming freestyle is not holding your catch. To make sure you’re doing this, hold one arm up (in front of your shoulder) whilst the other arm pulls underwater. Your arm should only pull down as the other one comes over your shoulder to enter the water. A wide catch will also give you more power by engaging more muscles both in your trunk and shoulders as well as increase your glide and minimise resistance in the water.⁠
⁠
🌊Tip 3 – Breath every two⁠
Breathing every two strokes will not only help you stay calm whilst swimming in open water conditions but also provides a higher flow of oxygen to the bloodstream than breathing every 3 or 4 strokes.⁠
⁠
When ocean swimming and in particular if you are swimming a long distance the only way you are going to get enough oxygen into your bloodstream and avoid fatigue is to breathe every two!⁠
⁠
🌊Tip 4 – Recovery (when your arm comes out and over the water)⁠
We encourage our swimmers to swim with straight arms. Straight arms allow you to recover your arm.⁠
