Medical Benefits of Going To The Beach
Sara Schmidt


Have you ever been to your local beaches? Have you ever visited one? Or want to visit one because you don't live near any beaches? Well here are 7 benefits of going to the beach.


1. Sea waves help relax our body and mind.

Research has told us that the sound of the wave make changes in our brainwave patterns, making us get into a deep tranquil state. While we are relaxed, our body and mind rejuvenates. In addition when we are floating on water, our blood in our lower extremities is pumped up towards our abdomen and chest area where the heart is. Therefore, this brings more oxygen to our brain, making us more active and alert.



2. Fresh sea air causes good doze.

"The sea air is packed with healthy negative ions that boost our ability to absorb oxygen. These negative ions balance the serotonin level, a body chemical that affects mood and stress in our body, making us more relaxed, yet alert and energized. That’s why we always sleep more soundly after spending the day on the beach."

3. Salt air combats depression and mood disorder.

Researchers have said that people dealing with depression or mood disorders should go to the beach because the negative ions in the salt air could help treat those with depression and mood disorders.


4. Sea air boosts immune system.

According to a study done in University of California, the sea air has a lot of free electrons that neutralizes free radicals in our body. The negative ions in it can kill bacteria thus improving the health and immune system of people inhaling it.


5. Lying on the beach relieves stress.

The heat of the sun on our skin affects our endocrine system. This secretes endorphins in our body that makes us feel relaxed and less stressed.

6. Basking in the sun cures certain skin diseases.

Controlled amounts of sun rays can be good for those who have psoriasis. The ultra violet radiation of the sun rays help make the skin dry and flaky faster, allowing for new skin to replace the dead ones.

7. Soaking in the sea heals skin dermatitis.
