We already knew that outdoor activities like hiking are good for health.
And this, both mentally and physically.
What was less known is that spending time at the beach also has incredible health benefits , especially on the brain.
This is what a scientific study on the subject has just revealed. Explanations:
The sense of calm and tranquility one gets when at the beach is called "the blue space".
This is the expression scientists have chosen to describe the soothing effect of lapping and scents of seawater on the brain.
As if hypnotizing us, blue space has the ability to liberate and soothe us.
If you feel laid back and relaxed at the beach, it's not just in your head.
Scientific studies have shown that the beach brings an incredible feeling of happiness, relaxation and invigorates your brain.
Here are the 4 amazing benefits of "blue space" on your brain:
Water is one of the best natural remedies for stress. It has a high content of positively charged ions, which are known for their ability to relax and relax the body. To feel this feeling of relaxation, nothing could be simpler.
Just take a dip or simply dip your feet in the ocean water. The beach has the power to boost morale in no time. It brings a real boost that we should all be able to enjoy at least from time to time!
Are you lacking inspiration? So know that researchers are convinced that the beach is the solution to your lack of creativity. Exposing ourselves to the blue space allows us to clear our heads and discover more creative ways of approaching everyday problems.
Moreover, the benefits of the beach on the brain are similar to those of meditation. Indeed, the beach brings a state of tranquility, which puts things in perspective and puts worries into perspective. As a result, you feel lighter and it becomes easier to focus on the positive aspects of your life.
Along with its benefits for stress levels and creativity, the beach can also relieve symptoms associated with depression. Why ? Because the beach awakens all our senses. The sound of the waves hypnotizes our hearing, the horizon captivates our sight, the iodized air acts on our sense of smell and the hot sand on our touch.
All of these sensations contribute to transporting us into a restful state of contemplative meditation. This experience allows you to have clear ideas, to take a break and take a step back from the chaotic aspects of daily life.
Thanks to the beach, your perception of life will certainly change for the better! Spending time in nature is always good for your health, but going to the beach is especially good for your happiness. So, as you will have understood, it is high time to go and enjoy the beach! But don't forget your homemade sunscreen :-)
