Helena Talbot’s blog – Is It Healthier To Live Near A Beach?

Have you ever dreamed of living near the beach?  You may have wondered if living near the beach makes for healthier living.  Many people, when considering a move, think about moving on or near a beach.  Then there are other people who already live near the beach but have no idea about the health benefits it provides.  

Living near the beach is in fact very healthy for you.  Of course you do need to take the proper skin care measures to avoid over exposure.  However, aside from that, here are some of the health benefits of living near a beach.

1.  You probably already know that the sound of the waves is very relaxing.  But did you know that the sound of the waves is also altering your brain pattern.  This in turn puts your mind into a deeply relaxed state.  

2.  Do you like to float in the water?   If you've never done it, you should give it a try.  The act of floating in water helps your blood flow upwards toward your abdomen and your heart allowing more oxygen to reach your brain.

3.  Everyone loves the smell of the fresh sea air.  But what you probably don't know is that the sea air is charged with healthy negative ions.  Those ions assist your body in absorbing more oxygen and they'll also help balance your serotonin levels as well.  Serotonin will help improve your mood and lower your body's stress levels. 

 A day at the beach will help you relax and unwind.  It's good for the body, the soul and the mind.   Sun also helps your body replenish the much-needed vitamin D.  This is a vitamin that most people are lacking and one that has many health benefits.  

If you're considering a move to the beach, but don't quite know where to begin.  Contact your realtor for assistance.  Your realtor will be able to help you get started.  Your realtor will also have the knowledge required to pick a suitable beach home.  

Not all beach homes are created equally.  Some are only designed to be occupied during certain months of the year and don't come equipped with central heat, etc.  There are many things associated with buying a home on or near a beach and you will need a realtor that has the experience required to guide you in the right direction and help prevent you from making a monumental mistake.
