Does vacationing on the beach lead to death?
Rest on the beach leads to death? – this is the conclusion of English scientists (University of Liverpool). The main reason for this result of research is that tourists on such a holiday overeat and lead a sedentary lifestyle.
A group of 28 active and healthy people were selected to spend two weeks on the beach. A prerequisite for the experiment is to wear special devices that measure people’s physical activity. The logical conclusion is that a person is lazy during rest, the fat layer increases, because people did not deny themselves food, and physical activity decreased by 80% - tourists managed only 1.5 thousand steps a day instead of 10 thousand at normal times. “Such changes can lead to chronic metabolic diseases and premature death,” the researchers said.
A similar opinion was voiced by Oleg Safonov, the head of Rostourism. Turmarket did not forgive him for saying in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta: The need for the beach and the sea is largely an imposed stereotype of recent years, which we already perceive as our own opinion. Our ancestors, even wealthy ones, did not travel en masse to foreign seas.” Mr. Safonov’s speech came back with a petition on change.org calling for his resignation. “In connection with the latest statements of the head of Rostourism, Oleg Safonov, related to the denial of the need for rest at sea, we, citizens of Russia, regard his activities as unconstitutional, limiting our rights and freedoms,” the petition said. Oleg Safonov also "remembered" two villas in the Seychelles, once in his ownership.
