Here's something you may know: Hammock provides a relaxing sleep. This is mainly because of the swaying motion of the hammock. In a hammock, people tend to have a more refreshing nap.
In my household, I found it hard to bring the kids inside a hammock. Instead, I bought a hammock swing for kids which is equally enriching when compared to a hammock.
Health Benefits for Kids
A swinging hammock chair helps reduce stress levels and increase concentration. The swaying motion also acts as an external pumping mechanism, increasing the rate of flow within the Lymphatic System - helping your kids feel relaxed and fresh.
Swinging is very good for learning and training full body coordination. The soothing motion of swinging also increases the ability to concentrate. Children, who find it difficult to focus on mathematics or reading, often find it much easier to be able to concentrate when they are sitting in a hammock swing.
And what's more? Hammock swings come in peppy colours and kid-friendly designs. So, your kids will definitely love spending time in a hammock swing.
Health Benefits for You
As mentioned earlier, hammocks have a long list of health benefits that scientists have been discovering almost every day. But, here are some of the five health benefits that you won't know, given the physical appearance of a hammock.
1. Increased Concentration in Adults
Much like hammock swings for kids, hammocks too increase concentration in adults.
2. Relief from Body Aches
When you lie down in a hammock, your vertebrae will align properly with the head and tail bones of the spinal cord. This enables the body to rejuvenate from body aches.
3. Relief from Back Problems
Sleeping in a hammock assists in spinal decompression. This has helped people with back problems including stenosis and chronic back pain.
4. Cure for Insomnia
People with hip pain and choric insomnia have also benefited by sleeping in hammocks.
5. Reduces Hip Pain
Thanks to the near weightlessness of a hammock, it doesn't apply pressure to your hip and waist, making it a safe haven for people with hip pain.
Finding a Hammock in India
Finding a hammock or hammock swing may sound like a daunting task, but, it isn't. There are many hammock sellers in India. I have personally purchased from Slack Jack Hammocks, an online store for hammocks and swings.
Slack Jack offers hammocks and hammock swings for kids and adults. These are made from breathable fabrics such as nylon, cotton and polyester making it a good summer retreat.
These hammocks are lightweight and durable. They can be hung and removed with ease. The website shows you on how to hang a hammock, and where you can hang them. You can buy online and do not have to pay any shipping charges.
Slack Jack is also present on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest where they also offer recipes for short-eats and mocktails that you can enjoy in your hammock.
Happy Hammocking!
