Healthy at sea

I think that there are health advantages of living near the sea. I could see it as being a stress reducer too. Listening to the waves at night.

You are so true. I am from Fiji Islands and we are surround by sea. I like the smell. I think Fijians have good blood pressure. .. okay now since I am in Goa at the moment, there is sea and I am surround by water here as well. So there is this lady came to ask my mother in law to accompany her to beach one day. the people have a belief that have bath in the sea water at a certain time of the year, keeps them away pain and disease. So my mother in law and other elder ladies went to have a bath in the sea water at the beach that time. I was surprised but I learnt something new. thanks for sharing. have a wonderful day.

I find it relaxing to walk on a white sandy beach and I find the sound of the waves delightfully relaxing. I find the sea air refreshingly cool and energizing. I like to see picturesque coastal views. I think sun set can be a magical like experience that I adore. People that have a home that overlooks the sea are very lucky. I guess there is scientific research on the benefits of the coastline.

Yes . Sea water has salt and it can cure wounds. I have heard about it. Sea water air will certainly relieve stress because sea is so big and we are too small. I am not sure about its effect on blood pressure. thanks for the info.

Hi, you are right. I also heard about the benefits of the sea for the health. I am living on the coastal area. So I can go to walk on the sea shore daily. The air is so refreshing we feel very happy on the shore. But here the beaches are crowded as it is a tourist place. So we have to go to beach early morning to enjoy the beauty of the sea beach.

Sea breeze is also good for people who have an asthma. People who are paralyzed also are suggested to be covered by the sand in the seashore.What I know is that the sand is a material that has a power to slowly massage your muscles naturally. There might be no concrete scientific explanation with it but i personally believe it.It is also the reason why I love going to the beach to relieve my stress

I don't know if there is scientific research about this, but I believe that it's true. Water in itself is healthy and salt is healthy. Running water, for those of us who don't live near the ocean, is soothing and relieves stress. Streams, rivers, waterfalls have been translated to backyard fountains for those who live in town and realize the benefits. Salt water kills germs of all kinds, inside and out. It's the greatest for a sore throat, so I imagine that water from the sea, with added minerals and all, is even better for you to bathe in or just be near. There's one other thing that could very well make the ocean healthy for humans and that is that it can balance electrical flows within the human body because moving water creates negative ions and our bodies are usually full of positive ions due to the way we eat and live.

I read in many books that sea water has indeed som medical benefits to some illnesses. But of course when applying them they should be applied moderately as much as possible. I think there are also sea borne diseases that you can get from the sea as well as they also bore bacteria that can make us ill as well. So it is not totally a cure but it can also be a source of some diseases as well.

I love being by the sea...it is calming...and the air is crisp and clean....also for me I find inspiration!

My daughter is suffering from asthma when she's one year old and her pediatrician advised me to take her along the beach for fresh air. I follow the doctors advised without questioning and I am thankful that my daughter grow healthy and never been attacked by asthma... :)

It's actually the salt that does it. I read it somewhere. I remember when we were suffering from cough or cold my mom used to bring us to the beach so we could be cured. It was effective most of the time.

I think it is healthy depending on which part of the world you are in. I say that because it can harm your health due to water pollution from accidents, such as oil spills, or people purposely dumping waste into the oceans and littering. There is a large area in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 20000 km^3 of volume I believe is highly concentrated in plastic. I heard a story about a man who was deemed to be confined to his wheelchair by his doctor. However, he went to the beach with someone and sat in the water and surprising he started to feel his legs again and was capable of moving them and started to walk.

yes, sea is a gift of nature and we should enjoy its bani-fits. sea is full of bani-fits, for example when you worry, you go to sea side and look the sites of nature,walk on the sand and feel free himself it reduce your sorrow. sea air is good for our breath system.you can eat sea foods to maintain your health.
