Even in the depression it would seem that some businesses are doing really well and luxury cruise certainly seems to be one of them.

How on earth has cruising holidays seen a 5% increase this year? By no means is going on a decent cruise cheap, how on earth are people finding the money to go on such cruises?

Saving is certainly a big factor. Why do people save up to go on a cruise.

A major reason is the ship has so many things to do that you can almost fit several other holidays within it. It has brilliant fitness facilities, swimming pools, fine dining and many other things on offer including dinner shows. To fit this all under one roof is simply astounding. Could the depression change next years figure?

Well it would seem so with another massive increase next year set to come in at 6.5%. Could it be something to do with the brand new ships out next year. The prices of cruises are not as bad as they used to be. Take your pick as there are so many different package deals out there now. There seem to be more companies offering cruises every year which means the prices are sure to go down even further. So now is the time to look for a cruise holiday, they are also very relaxing as you are free to do whatever you want, check out the pool, hit the gym or just relax in your cabin.

Of course the percentage increase is just estimation and we might not see as many people taking river cruises as well as cunard cruises like we first thought, however all we can really do is wait it out.

Lots of people suffer in one way or another from an upset stomach from time to time. There is a huge industry built around combating these problems with various drugs and medicines but knowing which ones you need is not easy and you don’t want all the side effects that come with them. You want something natural and preventative don’t you?

Harvard University have recently conducted research that clearly links exercise to a reduced occurrence of stomach problems and improved nutritional absorption. James Kernel from the Universities Sports Sciences Department suggests a number of reasons for their findings. Firstly, when people move around they are generally upright which helps food and liquids move down through the body, also when you move muscles in a repetitive motion, like when paddling on surfboards for example, this helps pump blood all around the body and help distribute nutrients that were absorbed in the stomach and intestines. sitting down for any length of time is not good for the stomach as this slows down the rate at which food is processed by the body and can cause people stomachs to feel uncomfortable.

Secondly, exercise releases important chemicals into the body that regulate glucose levels in the blood. The key hormones involved with the process of storing and releasing glucose into the blood stream and insulin and glucagon, but their are more involved. Muscles that are found lining the intestines and stomach contract in pulses to help move the conveyor belt of food through all the digestive systems. If these muscles do not have a regulated flow of glucose their functioning can be effected and digestion slows down.

So rather than wait until you actually get indigestion or stomach ache before take action, why not buy one of the plentiful second hand bikes around or why not used kayaks if you like the water, and try prevention instead of cure
