Mountain holidays with children
'The mountain is good for you' , and it's not just a way of saying. Specific studies have shown how those suffering from
asthma, allergies or respiratory problems can benefit from altitude, given that drier air prevents the proliferation of dust mites present in homes; a less polluted environment, then, helps to strengthen
the immune system of all of us, at any age.
Cool temperatures even in the height of summer favor our well-being, reinvigorating body and mind, as well as allowing us to spend more time outdoors, without the obligation to suspend exposure in the central hours of the day (obviously always using the right protection for skin, eyes and head).
The more you expose yourself to sunlight, the more
vitamin D production increases, which is essential for the growth of bones and teeth. Do you want other reasons to choose
the mountains as a summer destination? No mosquitoes, longer sleeps (without mosquitoes, in fact, and also thanks to the cool of the night),
more relaxing rhythms marked by the alternation of light and dark, in total harmony with the environment. It's not a certainty, but it seems that even the thinner air and the greenery of the surrounding landscape have
a calming effect . Last but not least, the extraordinary opportunity to
discover the secrets of nature , a source of game as unexpected as it is exciting and, at the same time, a school of life. With 'lessons' and experiences that children will be able to make their own to carry them in their hearts even as adults.
