Days spent fishing in the wild with your family can be a great way to create lasting memories. However, did you know that fishing can also be good for your health? Find out five reasons why fishing is good for your health. A few reasons will probably surprise you.
You get more vitamin D from sunlight
One of the best sources of vitamin D is natural sunlight. Vitamin D is important because it helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that contribute to the functioning of the immune system and help fight disease. Fishing has many benefits, but it is very important to emphasize that during every fishing trip, thanks to the sunlight, your body absorbs vitamin D.
Relaxation and quality time spent with family
Spending time in nature promotes relaxation and is no less beneficial than meditation. For example, it reduces blood pressure and anxiety. In fact, research has shown that fishing is good for mental health because it can lower cortisol (your body's main stress hormone). After returning home, the mental health benefits of fishing can last up to three weeks. Fishing trips with the family not only guarantee relaxation, but also provide an opportunity to strengthen the connection with family members, enjoying the catch, taking a break from mobile phones and other electronic devices.
Patience is cultivated
It's not usually the case that you cast your rod and immediately catch a fish. Some days the baiting can be slow and difficult, but when you fish persistently during such slow periods, the experience you gain helps you become a more patient person. Cultivating patience while fishing is good for your mental health as it can lead to a calmer and more contented life.
Improves cardiovascular health
Is fishing good for cardiovascular health? Of course, fishing can burn an average of 200 calories per hour, depending on the type of fishing you choose. This may not be true if you're all nice and cozy on a beach chair with your fishing rod secured in a holder stuck in the sand. However, if you alternate between fishing spots and keep casting your rod, you burn calories and make your heart work.
