Sun and sea are not only lots of fun for children, but are also very important for their healthy physical growth since they strengthen your child’s natural defences against winter colds.
Playing on the beach is very therapeutic for the breathing system: wind carries small particles of water, mineral salts and sea water ions that act as a natural aerosol therapy which strengthens your child’s defences against winter virus attacks.
Sun is absolutely essential for the healthy development of bones. Sunrays help to produce vitamin D, previously taken in from food, which aids the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones.
There are number of precautions to take however on the beach to avoid unpleasant surprises …
Your child’s skin is very delicate and in the very hot hours of the day (from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) excessive sun exposure should be avoided. A sunscreen with high SPF should be applied every two hours and if you are spending the whole day on the beach, your child should wear a white T-shirt and hat with peak.
You should also get your children to drink lots of water and fruit juice and eat seasonal fruit and vegetables and ice creams to restore the mineral salts and vitamins lost by the body during sweating.
Remember also to take a spare swimming costume to the beach; allowing your child to wear a wet or damp costume may lead to tummy troubles.
As a last recommendation, get your children to play and do sport on the beach and don’t allow them simply to lie or sit in the sun.

Just as indispensible on the beach are the Naturino shoes your children wear since they follow your children wherever they go, whatever they do.
