The benefits of beachside living.
The coastal dream - good for the heart and the soul.
From cleaner air and outdoor activities to improved skin and mental well-being, the benefits of living by the beach are many. Whether you’re looking for a healthier lifestyle or simply a more relaxing environment, living near the ocean can offer a refreshing change.
During Australia's hot summer months there's no better way to cool off than a trip to the beach. But living by the ocean offers far more than just beautiful views and a relaxing environment – it can also bring surprising benefits to your health and well-being. Here are a few reasons why beachside living the perfect lifestyle choice might be.
1. Cleaner, Fresher Air
Coastal areas typically offer cleaner, fresher air. Ocean air is less polluted, and the natural environment near the beach produces negative ions, which are believed to help improve mood and boost energy levels. Additionally, with more opportunities to spend time outdoors, you'll enjoy increased exposure to healthy sunlight, which can support overall wellness.
2. Immune-Boosting Sea Breeze
The coastal ecosystem is filled with plants that naturally release phytoncides, which may help support the body’s immune response. While the benefits vary for each individual, living near the beach can provide a refreshing environment that may contribute to overall well-being.
3. A Natural Remedy for Hay Fever
Living by the sea may provide relief for those who suffer from hay fever. The natural salt in the ocean air can help clear sinuses and provide a soothing effect on the respiratory system. While this isn’t a guaranteed cure, the fresh, clean air near the beach can be a welcome change for many allergy sufferers.
4. Better Physical Health
Living by the beach encourages a healthy, active lifestyle. The natural surroundings offer countless opportunities for outdoor activities, whether it’s walking along the shore, swimming, surfing, or simply exploring nature. Those living by the coast are more likely to get outside and stay physically active. Additionally, Stockland communities offer free Live Life Get Active classes to residents, providing extra motivation and guidance for outdoor fitness classes in a supportive environment.
5. Glowing Skin
Saltwater from the ocean can have a positive effect on the skin. The magnesium in the water may help improve hydration, reduce inflammation, and promote healthier, smoother skin. Regular exposure to the ocean may help keep your skin looking its best.
6. Mental Health and Well-being
Living by the beach has been linked to improved mental health. The soothing sounds of the waves, the vastness of the ocean, and the beauty of the natural environment all contribute to reduced stress and greater relaxation. Many people find that being near the water helps clear their minds, improve their mood, and feel more at peace. It’s no wonder that beachside living is often associated with a calmer, more balanced lifestyle.
