10 Health Benefits Of Hitting The Beach by Gdggdf: 6:10pm On Jun 17, 2018 |
Beaches are some of the greatest and most enjoyable natural features this earth has to offer us. Homeowners pay exorbitant amounts of money to live near a beach, vacationers flock to sunny beachside locations on holidays, and when retirement age hits – it’s off to warm coastal areas people go! So why exactly is this? Why do we, as humans, naturally gravitate towards the beach? Let’s face it; you don’t hear “Oh my god I just got back from a day at the beach and it was horrible. I’m stressed and now feeling more depressed than ever!” It’s quite possible that blasphemous phrase has never been uttered in the history of mankind, and for good reason; it simply doesn’t happen. While we may not consciously be able to pinpoint the exact reasons why we feel so happy and relaxed after a day at the beach, it truly does have many positive effects on a person both physically and psychologically. So check out the facts – below are just ten of these benefits explained. 1. Going to the beach relieves stress. The number one benefit for hitting the beach is stress relief. As soon as you exit your vehicle and step out into the sun, you feel the calming effects wash over you like water.

Additionally, light therapy is something that’s actually prescribed by doctors and therapists to help patient’s combat anxiety and stress. 2. You’ll always get a better sleep after a day at the beach. After just a few hours at the beach one of the greatest benefits a person will experience is a truly wonderful night’s sleep later. For insomnia sufferers looking for a natural remedy, the beach is a definite recommendation. It’s because the beach helps relieve three key factors that inhibit sleep: high stress and anxiety levels, lack of physical fatigue, and hormonal imbalances. Not only do you feel immediately relaxed upon setting foot on the beach, but you get a great exercise even from just walking on the beach! Additionally, the sun and lowered stress levels immediately help regulate a person’s hormones – making it far easier later that night to get a peaceful and deep sleep. 3. Get your daily amount of vitamin D in just ten minutes at the beach. One of the most essential vitamins in our diets is vitamin D; however very little of it is actually absorbed through the consumption of foods. Yes, you may have vitamin D enriched milk, but it’s often not enough for our bodies to absorb the appropriate amount on a daily basis.
