For centuries, doctors have been prescribing their patients to visit the seaside as a cure to their health conditions and disease. Recent studies have proved them right, showing that living close to the seaside is good for your health.
There are more reasons why living close to the seaside is good for your health.
Apart from the obvious benefits such as having a healthy tan, the fresh air and vitamin D are great for your health. Studies also show that people who live close to the beach are often less stressed and live happier lives!
I will introduce you to 6 reasons why you should relocate close to the seaside.
Several studies show that the sea helps reduce psychological stress and increases the feeling of harmony and balance. Maritime landscapes seem to be a real anti-stress medicine: every time you find yourself close to seawater, you will notice that your breath works better, and the body takes in more oxygen than usual. Just being in the proximity of seawater will make you feel more relaxed.
Seawater strengthens your immune system, increases blood circulation and hydrates your skin. Not everybody knows that seawater has a hydrating power, just be careful not to sunbathe too much.
Salty air helps the respiratory system. Near the seaside, many people with asthma and bronchitis conditions experience improvements in their breathing systems.
Sea air helps your body to absorb oxygen and to balance serotonin levels. This leads to more energy, better sleep and less negative thoughts. We are talking about actual molecular alterations produced naturally.
The seaside favours physical activity, which is essential for physical and mental health. According to scientific studies, those who live by the seaside are more encouraged to take care of their body. There are no age limits for exercising: even a simple daily walk can make a different.
Living by the sea means a longer exposure to the sun. The sun strengthens the immune system, increase vitamin D production, improves bone health and reduces the risk of cancer. Obviously, sunbathing need to be at certain times, early morning and late afternoon.
In brief, living by the seaside is good for your body, mind and soul.
