For this reason, more and more people venture to look for houses facing the sea, for something 10% of the world population (600 million people) lives in a coastal area.
Living or spending time in these areas could be very beneficial for physical and mental health. Science proves this, as hundreds of studies reveal how living near the beach can have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Can you imagine having a house facing the sea? Go to bed and wake up every morning to the sound of the waves of the sea? Living near the beach will not only put a smile on your face, it also offers many benefits for your overall health and well-being, such as:
Sleep better
Sea air improves sleep because it is cooler and cleaner, has higher levels of oxygen, negative ions in sea air accelerate the body’s ability to absorb oxygen. At the same time they help balance levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate sleep phases.
Improves breathing problems
Waterfront homes can be a great ally for those suffering from respiratory problems. Seawater is rich in sea salts and iodine, essential components in all nasal decongestants. By living near the beach and breathing the air in the area continuously, they will be able to improve their respiratory conditions such as asthma, for example.
Helps to be more relaxed
Stress, considered the epidemic of the twenty-first century, is a silent problem that affects people’s quality of life. Living near the sea can help fight it effectively because it facilitates the state of relaxation.
Stress has a lower incidence in people living on the coast. It is precisely due to the negative ionization that exists in the sea breeze, which contributes to increase serotonin levels and thus reduce anxiety.
May help stabilize blood pressure
In places located at the same sea level, the atmospheric pressure is higher and therefore also the oxygen present in the air. This condition favors the oxygenation of the organism, which has an impact on blood pressure.
Offers higher levels of vitamin D
Did you know that vitamin D deficiency can cause horrible health problems like hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anemia, brain damage, depression, infertility, and cancer?
People who live in dull and gloomy climates generally face more vitamin D deficiency than those who live near the coast. An apartment by the sea means you get more solar vitamin, which can protect you from some of the most dangerous diseases today.
The sea heals wounds
The salts present in the sea water favor the healing of wounds. Salt iodine is a natural bactericide, so acne, cuts, or even internal inflammations will heal more quickly after taking a bath.
Contributes to a more active life
Waterfront homes contribute to their occupants having a more active and healthy life. Walking or running on the beach is an excellent exercise, as well as practicing some water sport. Living near the beach can be very beneficial for anyone.
