LIVING IN THE SEA
AN EXPERIENCE FOR THE SENSES
Live near the sea. The whole world knows the benefits of Mediterranean life, its people, its culture, its diet. In this article we will analyze the benefits of living in the sea, and we will talk about thalassotherapy, the therapy based on the properties of seawater.
Vivier en el mar favors a calmer, more “cool” lifestyle.
But what other benefits does the sea offer our body? Many more than you can imagine...
Who has not taken a walk by the sea?
These walks by the sea help us breathe. The sea breeze, rich in salts, calms our nervous system and helps reduce symptoms in people with asthma and respiratory diseases.
And the sea water?
We have all heard the saying, “seawater heals”. And so it is; seawater helps in the wound healing process, since, in its composition, we find essential elements that are found in our body.
Sea baths offer many other benefits. They take care of our skin, helping to reinforce the protective barrier of our body. At low temperatures, they are very good for circulation. And in addition, the benefits that sea baths provide against diseases such as arthritis are well known.
What influence does it have on our brain?
The sea is the great cure for stress. Studies carried out by scientists lead us to believe that observing a large amount of blue induces us to a meditative state, associated with calm, and depth. This climax of relaxation and laxity becomes even more acute, if possible, with the swaying of the waves and their relaxing sound.
There is no doubt that the sea brings us serenity, and takes us away from the effervescent rhythm of the city. The best natural stress reliever.
In addition, the mild temperatures of the Mediterranean coast during most of the year, invite you to sunbathe, which, in a controlled way, helps the body synthesize vitamin D, essential for the proper functioning of the body.
A HOUSE IN THE SEA_ THALASSOTHERAPY
From the study of the use of all the benefits that the sea and its environment bring to our body, thalassotherapy was born. "Thalassos" in ancient Greek means sea. This new therapy applies all the properties of seawater to our body, with a preventive, and sometimes even curative, purpose.. This therapy is recommended for the elderly, as it acts on bone and muscle pain, reducing its sensation and intensity. It is highly recommended for people with rheumatic problems, such as arthritis. And in more severe cases such as osteoarthritis, it helps to relieve pain and reduce joint inflammation. In addition, it has other advantages already mentioned above, such as arterial regulation and improvement of blood flow. In any case, there is no doubt that the sea, the beach, are strong allies for the prevention of physical disability, since it invites us to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
Another therapy closely linked to the marine environment is algotherapy. Seaweed, in its natural or dried state, acts as an antioxidant in our body. But its most outstanding property is its draining effect, helping to reduce leg swelling and avoiding fluid retention.
As you can see, there are many advantages to coming to live near the sea. If you are looking for a place to settle for the next few years, in Sendra Arquitectura we can help you. hesitate to contact us.
