There is no question, being on the ocean or even nearby makes for a better, longer life with less stress and more opportunity to relax… at least that’s what I tell my clients. J Every time I look at the ocean and breathe in that salty air, feelings of peace and calm take over, burdens feel lifted and my face reveals a quiet smile. I’m not a scientist and apparently this is nothing new. As early as the 18th century, doctors were prescribing trips to the coast to visit special clinics offering seawater bath treatments to improve overall health says online magazine livescience. In one of their recently published articles about the positive affect the ocean has on health and overall well-being, research reveals that the ocean does indeed reduce stress and promotes a healthier and happier life.
Here’s another positive in living and vacationing on the coast. Scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less like to suffer from depression. Psychiatrist and lipid biochemist Joseph Hibbelin of the National https://nygoodhealth.com/product/lasix/ Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is a direct correlation between ounces of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interesting, Hibbelin and researcher Laura Reis have found that fish is commonly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures.
So the next time you are considering home ownership on the coast or thinking about planning a beach vacation, you can feel confident in knowing that not only does being on the coast offer fun, relaxation, & so many other perk. The biggest perk of all is that the ocean is good for you and your family’s overall health and well-being. “It’s A Beach Thing!” indeed.
** side note… Now if only the government gave health care tax credits for owning coastal property or vacationing at the beach. I mean… it has after all been researched and proven! Just sayin’ ?
Hope to see you or hear from you soon!
