A new book is out which states that one can go to the beach,
not get in the water and stress melts away. Forbes Living takes a look at why the
seashore is one of the best places to relax.
When we are exposed to the calmness of the ocean, our minds
take a cognitive and emotional break – so to speak. The vast blue sea relaxes
it, puts it in a meditative mode as they happy thoughts seep in. Brain images
of people who are close to water show the brain filling up with feel-good
hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin. The stress hormone coritsol lessens and
the human feels fine. Scientists have actually proven that the color blue helps
us focus better. And since the ocean is mostly blue, we relax and are able to be
more creative and emotionally sound. Forbes Living reminds readers our bodies
are 60% water and our brains are 75% water. So it makes sense that water-based therapies
are helping people work though trauma, stress and depression. If sitting on the
beach or swimming in the water is not your idea of relaxation, sit in a
restaurant of coffee house near it and reap the same benefits. If the ocean is
someplace one longs to be on the weekend, jump in! Mother Nature’s resources
are there to make it better.
