Yes, it’s true, everything us aficionados of skiing have
been saying for years. Not just because we love it and it makes us feel
good. Look at the
seventy year old whizzing past as we pick ourselves up.

Here’s five good reasons why:

 1: Sunlight; Do you suffer from seasonal affective
disorder (SAD)? For example, one in fifty
people (2% of the population) in the UK are sufferers.

This condition can vary
from a mild form of blues to severe depression.

2: Adrenalin; When it boils down to it we are just another
animal on this planet. OK, probably the most successful,
But we still have our basic instincts from thousands of
years back, the fight or flight syndrome being the most
obvious.

This is bad for us. Get
out on those difficult runs, maybe just a little bit more
difficult than we are comfortable with, and go for it.

You will produce loads of adrenalin in response, and the
physical activity used in getting to the bottom in one
piece will use up the adrenalin, and as a bonus produce
endorphins which will make you feel great.

3: Altitude; I’ll bet you didn’t know that just the
physical fact of being at altitude can make you lean and
fit. A little while ago a study was carried out in Austria,
using volunteers from different walks of life at moderate
altitudes.

It was found that overweight men who suffered from high
cholesterol and high blood pressure, who were prescribed
medium distance walks at altitudes between 1400 metres
(4200 feet approx.) and 2000 metres (6000 feet approx.)
actually lost weight, and reduced their blood pressure and
cholesterol to a considerable degree.

Exercise at altitude over a period of time improves the
ability of the blood to absorb oxygen, improves heart
function and circulation, and burns more calories than the
same exercise at sea level!

4: Fresh Air; Fresh air, especially at altitude helps to
boost the immune system and prevents disease. The air at altitude is much
cleaner, with less of the airborne particles that can cause
so many problems.

Studies done in the mid 1990′s showed that folk living in
the most polluted areas of the world, mainly cities (and
this applies to the western world as well as the third
world) have an almost 30% greater chance of dying younger
than average than those from cleaner areas. Get
up those mountains and enjoy the fresh air.

5: Learning; yes, I’m sure we all know that learning is
good for us, stimulating our little grey cells. Learning
new skills, especially in our later years can help
enormously in staving off many mental conditions such as
memory loss, senility, and dementia.

Skiing provides the opportunity to learn not just new
physical skills, but (if you go to a foreign country) but
the challenge of learning perhaps a new language, or the
culture of a new environment. Drastically reducing the risk
mof age related problems.

So there you go.
You should try it if you haven’t already (it’s never too
late), or do more of it if you already do!
