Top 5 Ski Advices

Fresh winter air in mountains has a good influence on kids' and adults' health. It is very important for all people to feel a need for recreation (e.g. skiing) because it has great impact on cardiovascular organs, it increases the breathing and worming a body. Here you can find the most important top five ski advices.

1. Menace of Sun
Damage of sun exposure is the most important in summer, but also in winter when we are in high mountain, above 2,000 meters. You must be especially careful to your skin in February and Mart. So, use your sun block - cream, milk or spray - and don't act as a hero. You could return to home black as coal.

2. Facial redness? You need moisture!
Blood vessels tend to shrink in the cold, but when you enter into the heated room, they tend to expand rapidly and redness of the face increases. Redness, prickle, the sensation of tenseness, dandruff and other skin modifications which appear in the winter period show that the skin suffers from lack of moisture and it is in the danger of premature aging. The loss of moisture during the winter is caused by cold, wind and heating but the skin modifications don't appear with the same intensity in everyone. The loss of moisture depends on the heritage, diet, and above all-skin care which doesn't have to be expensive. In order for skin to keep its freshness and tenderness it needs daily care. After washing with tepid water and skin preparation, apply a thin layer of hydrating cream. A good hydrating cream adheres to skin like silk and soaks in almost immediately. The dermatologists don't recommend, even during the winter, so called greasy creams because they close the pores and won't allow the skin to breathe. Greasy creams for children are not recommended neither. Adults need moisture, not grease.

3. Brrrr... it's cold!
The greatest enemies of skiing are cold and height, which make moving difficult and increases the energy consumption. Wear comfortable pants, jacket or ski suit, which guarantee thermal protection and cotton underwear to absorb the body sweat. You will also need a hat and ski gloves and sunglasses.

4. Gloves are not just fancy
People who don't wear gloves during the winter will have dry, damaged hands. People who are more sensitive to cold can also have skin excem. This is the reason why it's recommended to protect skin by using hand cream before going out into the cold air and wearing gloves. The best product for skin care are the ones that contain wail fat. These are ordinary hand creams that can be bought in majority of supermarkets and drug stores.


5. Uh, we are starting to feel hungry now
The food energy value is measured in calories. The consumption of energy depends on the type of sport and the duration of the competition and it can be very different which means that for every sport discipline diet has to be carefully planned on the basis of actual energy needs. According to the latest research, despite the advancement in the sports activities techniques, the energy consumption of the competitors body is constantly increasing due to the greater load during training. If the necessary energy is not fed it will be stored into organism. During skiing we lose 300 calories in the period of half an hour. That is why the daily need for food for skiers ranges from 4,000 to 5,000 calories. Choose highly energetic ingredients, which digest quickly and immediately provide the organism with needed energy (biscuits, sweets, chocolates). Alcoholic drinks are strictly prohibited!

The following diet is recommended to skiers:
Breakfast: It should be on the basis of carbohydrates and sugar (bread, marmalade, honey, butter, milk, biscuits,...)
Lunch: It should be light, easily digestible and warm. Avoid fat food.
Brunch: Coffee with milk or tea and cake.
Supper: It should be light and nutritive.

6. Good night!
Don't forget to get a really good sleep between skiing days.
Don't forget to bring camera with you to picture all great moments with your friends, family and kids!
Good night had have fun tomorrow!
