Salt water has unique antibacterial and antifungal properties. This makes it excellent for external infections.

Going to the beach relieves stress.​

As soon as you exit your vehicle and step out into the sun, you feel the calming effects wash over you like water.
Both the sun and the waves combined work to completely relax your body, release you from your aches, and free you from daily stresses.
Not only is serotonin almost immediately released when you arrive on the beach, (serotonin is a key hormone for relaxation and happiness), but the sound and visuals of the beach and ocean are simply so soothing and peaceful.
It’s for the calming effects of the sound that crashing waves are often chosen for sleep machines.


You’ll always get better sleep after a day at the beach.​

For insomnia sufferers looking for a natural remedy, the beach is a definite recommendation.
It’s because the beach helps relieve three key factors that inhibit sleep: high stress and anxiety levels, lack of physical fatigue, and hormonal imbalances.
the sun and lowered stress levels immediately help regulate a person’s hormones – making it far easier later that night to get a peaceful and deep sleep.

Get your daily amount of vitamin D in just ten minutes at the beach.​

Spending just ten minutes outside in the sun can actually allow a person to absorb their daily dose of vitamin D directly through their skin.

Going to the beach can improve your ability to fight off infections.​

You may have experienced it previously – that painful sting when an open wound is exposed to saltwater.
Fortunately, that pain is a sign that your wound is actually being cleansed by the water.
Saltwater has unique antibacterial and antifungal properties making it excellent for external infections; however, it also helps internal infections as well.
The iodine in ocean water, which has other benefits we’ll discuss in point nine, actually is a fantastic immune system booster.
It not only is highly antiseptic (it’s used in hospitals and surgeries all the time), but it helps boost the function of the thyroid gland which, in turn, boosts our immune system’s function.

Enjoy endless opportunities to exercise when you’re out at the beach.​

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, stay in shape, or even just get rid of some pent up energy, you’ll find that the best place to do so is the beach.
The beach is perfect simply because there are so many possible outlets.

Going to the beach is like getting a beauty treatment for your skin.​

The beach and ocean water truly has an amazingly positive effect on the overall health and appearance of skin.


Exfoliate – the sand does a wondrous job exfoliating our feet, hands, and body.

Nothing removes dead skin cells quite like course bits of sand does.
Detoxify – once the warm sun opens up our pores, the salt water is then able to go in and pull out the toxins.
No more blemishes, uneven skin, or excess oils
Antibacterial – next, the iodine and salt in the water work to completely destroy bacteria and fungi on your skin that cause breakouts.


Reduce inflammation and pain with water aerobics.​

Water aerobics are, by far, the easiest aerobic activity for the elderly, individuals with joint pain, arthritis, or have recently been in surgery.
This is because the water offers a great deal of resistance without any impact at all and actually reduces the weight of a person submerged in water by around ninety percent.

Enjoy being able to breathe easier during and after a day at the beach.​

The natural inclination to inhale deeply when you first step on the beach is actually an automatic response to the quality of the air.
Individuals with asthma, COPD, or breathing difficulties will find that it’s far easier to breathe when on the beach, than almost anywhere else
This is because not only are the chest muscles surrounding the lungs relaxed when a person steps onto the beach, but the air itself is actually charged with negative ions that work to increase oxygen absorption in the lungs.

Increase your body’s levels of iodine by swimming in sea or ocean water.​

Having adequate levels of iodine in the body ensures that energy levels and metabolic rates are optimal, that hair and nail growth is at its peak, and that hormone levels are regulated.
Iodine, surprisingly, also is taken for its anti-carcinogenic properties and for the fact that it can help reduce fibrocystic disease symptoms.
While it’s not possible to say the exact amount of iodine present in the water, this essential supplement is absorbed through your skin when you swim.

Connect with yourself and spirit at the beach.​

heading to the beach can put you in touch with your spirit and consciousness.
The vastness of the ocean, expansive horizon, and beauty of the surroundings makes you truly appreciate nature.
Additionally, it’s when we’re so surrounded by nature and beauty that we can feel at peace and release ourselves from the daily stresses and troubles in the modernized world.
