For some diseases, doctors include fish in the diet.

Vitamins:

1. A nicotinic acid. Deficiency of the substance leads to the development of skin and blood cancer. Fish should be included in the menu for skin diseases and when it is necessary to cleanse the blood. Nicotinic acid helps activate microcirculation and absorb other elements.
2. Vitamin A. The substance helps get rid of fatigue and improves vision.
3. B vitamins. Elements help normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and also stabilize blood sugar levels.
4. Vitamin D. The element participates in all metabolic processes, promotes the production of hormones, and activates the absorption of calcium.

Red fish contains iron, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Marine subspecies contain iodine, which is good for memory and helps with stress. A balanced diet and frequent exposure to fresh air help improve immunity.

Fishing as a form of recreation

In the modern world, fishing is a form of relaxation, away from everyday routine. The benefits of this type of outdoor activity consist of fresh air, ambient temperature, ultraviolet sunlight and physical activity, which has a beneficial effect on the vacationer’s body.

The air refreshes the skin and improves breathing, under the influence of active substances released by plants - phytoncides. Breathe air containing phytoncide. The benefits of the air received can be compared to therapeutic inhalation. The wind somewhat dries the skin from sweat.

Solar radiation promotes the production of vitamin D (plays an important role in calcium balance), colloquially called solar vitamin. On the banks of the river, vitamin production is much faster, due to a characteristic feature found only here. The surface of the water reflects ultraviolet beams from itself, just like the shore (sandy or rocky), this reflection ability is called albedo.

Ambient temperature has a beneficial effect on human body temperature, raising muscle tone, improving blood circulation and hemodynamics.

Physical activity

Initially, it seems that fishing as a form of recreation is minimal, consisting of waiting for a bite. This misconception is quite popular. If you imagine that you need to inspect the area, choose from a variety, your place and start installing gear. This involves quite a bit of physical activity, which has a beneficial effect on muscles, coordination of movements, and speed of reaction.

Development of visual acuity. Even and regular fishing activities develop the eye and visual acuity. After many trainings, the eyes get used to seeing underwater elements (algae, driftwood, etc.). Just as well as in the first case, unraveling the fishing line helps (since all attention is focused on it).

You don’t have to buy bait and lures; you can make them yourself by showing your creativity. For the most part, fishermen are fond of active recreation, and the main thing for them is testing new gear and bait, and fishing itself fades into the background.

Another positive side is the strengthening of the central nervous system. It is believed that fishing as a form of recreation relieves psychological stress, improves mood, relieves depression and eliminates the effects of shock. Additional benefits include: significant development of intuitive abilities, memory training.

Happy fishing!

The advantages of fishing on small rivers

> Where to fish > Fishing in Russia and around the world > The advantages of fishing on small rivers

The Volga is the largest river not only in the European part of Russia, but throughout Europe. This river has a diverse character and is heterogeneous in its currents, which has always made it possible to catch a wide variety of fish in this river, from bream and sabrefish to pike perch and asp. But recently there has been such strong pressure on the Volga that the once fish-rich places have become virtually empty of fish.

In this regard, more and more anglers, accustomed to fishing in Mother Volga, began to pay attention to medium and small rivers.

Ø Many advantages of small rivers are contained primarily in the low water content of these rivers. It is this factor that allows them to quickly cleanse themselves after the spring flood. And this makes it possible to open the fishing season for float gear early on small rivers. And at this time, on the Volga, the flood is still in full swing and most often the floaters there have small sabrefish and bleak as a trophy. But on small rivers real fish, ide, large sorog, roach, and chub are already being caught in full swing. According to fishing rules, in May fishing is allowed only with a float tackle with one hook, and at this time small rivers are a real outlet for anglers who miss the open water season.

Ø Small rivers, for the same reason of low water, are very attractive in August. At this time, the Volga still continues to bloom, especially since you can’t swim in the Gorky Reservoir, let alone fish. The Cheboksary Reservoir is more or less for the better due to its albeit weak flow. And if the water in large rivers and other large bodies of water blooms, you can switch back to small rivers. During the very first cold snaps in August, the water in such rivers quickly cools, and this activates fish, primarily predators. For many of these rivers, just a couple of nights are enough for the predator to begin its active movements. Therefore, the smaller the river, the faster the pre-autumn fish feast begins on it. Sometimes a lucky fisherman can catch three dozen pike in a day on such rivers. And then you understand that the name “small rivers” does not mean that there are few fish in them. Everything can be completely opposite. During this period, the Volga is experiencing the worst of wilderness conditions. This period usually lasts from mid-July to early September. All this time, the fish there are inactive, due to the strong warming of the water and the rapid growth of “green algae” that poison the water of large rivers.

Ø But small rivers, due to their flow, do not have such problems and there is no “wilderness” and “wilderness” does not exist. In February and until mid-March in the upper reaches of the Cheboksary reservoir, the catches are simply scanty, and sometimes there are none at all. And many fishermen switch to small rivers. There, in addition to the standard perch and roach, anglers are pleased with their biting roaches, dace, chubs and minnows.

Ø In summer, catches on small rivers can also be more varied than catches in large rivers. On some rivers you can catch more than a dozen species of fish on a float, even such exotic fish as fast fish. And although many anglers believe that there are no large fish on small rivers, catching a pike weighing 5 kg there is not a rare exception, and chub weighing 1.5 kg is not uncommon. On many small rivers, ide is well caught, and specimens weighing 2 kg are caught quite regularly. Catfish are also found on small rivers. Even if its weight and size are not as impressive as in the lower reaches of the Volga, but specimens weighing 10 kg are quite possible to catch.

Ø But it’s hardly worth arguing with the fact that small fish still predominate in a small river. However, even this disadvantage can be turned into an advantage if you bring to a small river not a powerful jig tackle, but the now popular ultralight.

Ø In addition, small rivers are not only paradises for fishermen, but also excellent tourist routes. Neither the Oka, nor the Don, nor the Volga in this sense can be compared with small rivers. Large rivers have their own big disadvantage - this is openness to all winds and, as a result, a constant struggle with waves. As for small rivers, most of them flow through forested areas or have fairly high banks, and this solves the problem with waves in these reservoirs. It’s great to go kayaking and rubber boats here, and the trip will be bright and romantic. However, when rafting on small rivers, the advantage of rubber boats is undeniable. It’s hardly convenient to fish from a kayak, but it’s a pleasure to fish from a rubber boat. So you float slowly down the stream, rowing a little with an oar, and at the place you like, you start fishing for it with a spinning bait. River rafting, in addition to providing a great relaxation, provides a good opportunity to understand the essence of the river itself, and this plays a very important role for future fishing. In addition, small rivers, as a rule, are mostly clean, not to mention the pristine nature that surrounds them.

Ø In addition, fishing and recreation on small rivers are very valuable from an aesthetic point of view. In the wide expanses of a reservoir or a large river, you can hardly see the opposite banks; the water is all blooming with lush greenery and associations about relaxing in a swamp come to mind. Everywhere you look, you can see saltpeter roach and bream floundering on the surface. The spectacle is far from aesthetic. In a word, relaxation on a small river is much more pleasant, not to mention fishing.
