COVID 19 (C19) is certainly the stressor of 2020, which leaves many of us looking for ways to alleviate that stress in healthier ways than Oreos and ice cream.
Medical professionals are emphasizing natural therapeutics to strengthen immune systems against the C19 virus which include fresh air, exercise and sunshine for the production of vitamin D. Throw those magical elements into a pot, stir vigorously and you’ve conjured up a swimming pool to make the battle against the virus easier to bear
The exercise aspect is self evident; swimming involves many muscle groups working in conjunction with each other simultaneously. Not to mention the kids running around the pool deck, burning off that pent up energy during a good game of Marco Polo or Sharks and Minnows.
Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin during exposure to the sun. Vitamin D is also being considered as a powerful immunological weapon against the virus (https://www.pharmaceutical-technology.com/comment/vitamin-d-covid-19/).
The secondary benefits of that backyard pool are many…the feel of water on the skin, the sounds of nature while you relax on your Ledge Lounger, the peace of knowing your family is safe from C19 and the “nasties” found in the community pool (stay tuned for upcoming post about that).
Consider these benefits for you and you’re family while everyone is at home, creating undue wear and tear to the interior of your home…GET ‘EM OUTSIDE for the sake of everyone’s mental and physical health. Put them in a professionally built pool, designed and built by a pool pro.i
An additional benefit to the sunshine production of natural Vitamin D as opposed to taking a lab produced vitamin pill…you have more room in your belly for Oreos and ice cream!
