After a rigorous study at the University of Exeter, in the United Kingdom, it was published in the journal LiveScience, that after the systematic review of more than 48 million medical records, a claim that patients who live less than a kilometer from the sea, have a better perception of their health and their physical situation – that is psychologically relating to their health. It claimed the following benefits;
- IMPROVEMENT OF THE JOINTS. The beach is the ideal place to practice physical exercise. Taking long walks along the seashore has more than proven therapeutic properties. Who does not like to take long walks on the sand under the magnificent sun that we have almost every day of the year on the Costa Blanca !!
- HELPS RELAXATION. In the study, the University of Exeter commented that it is possible to demonstrate a cause-effect relationship between the mortality associated with stress and the reduction of mortality in patients living in coastal areas.
- IMPROVED ACUTE AND CHRONIC RESPIRATORY TABLES. It is clear that the sea has a direct influence on acute respiratory symptoms, since most of the nasal decongestants are mainly composed of seawater rich in salts and iodine.
- HELPS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AGAINST INFECTIONS. Iodine, again, is a potent natural bactericide not only found in seawater, but diluted in the sea breeze, producing a significant decrease in infections in the upper, lower and ocular respiratory tracts.
- FAVOURS THE CORRECT METABOLIC FUNCTIONING.
- CONTROLS BLOOD TENSION. At sea level, the atmospheric pressure is higher, so the amount of oxygen available in the air we breathe is also greater.
- TONES MUSCLE AND SKIN. Swimming is one of the most complete sports that exist. The beating of the waves against the body acts as a natural massage while strengthening the muscles.
- FAVOURS CICATRIZATION (WOUND HEALING). The marine salinity and the amount of iodine present in the water favours the healing of superficial wounds. Beware of infected wounds, humidity and heat favor the growth of microorganisms capable of producing serious infections, especially in the elderly.
- FAVORS THE REALISATION OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE WITHOUT WEAR. Undoubtedly an environment like ours, encourages us to walk more and to enjoy the almost perpetual spring weather. All the studies conclude that the best quality of life are of those who live near the sea, mainly due to the fact that we have an environment that favours the realisation of outdoor activities.
There are many reasons why living near the sea helps our health; all of our homes are in an environment that we believe will undoubtedly improve your way of life, it is something that we are fully convinced of, we believe in our work and we want the best for everyone.
