5 reasons why the beach is good for you
It’s no secret that we love a perfect day at the beach. Endless ocean swims, relaxing in the sun, spending quality time with the ones we love most. What you might not know is it’s actually healthy for you to spend time at the beach in the sun, so long as it’s in small doses and you ensure that you’re sun safe. Here’s why…
Vitamin D
This vitamin is essential for your health and wellness. Exposure to sunlight in small doses helps you meet your daily Vitamin D intake goals, and supports bone growth, and prevents calcium loss in bones.
2. Natural tech detox
Going to the beach is a great way to relax without your phone, computer or tablet for a few hours - once you’ve taken a cute photo and tagged us on Instagram, of course!
3. Reduces stress
We all know how amazing a good seaside snooze can be. The combination of waves crashing, the cool ocean breeze and warm sun create a calming and relaxing environment which reduces stress.
4. It’s good for your joints and skin
A soak in salt water is great for your joints and muscles, and exfoliating with a little sand does wonders for your skin.
5. It’s social
Invite your best friends, partner or family - the more the merrier! Just be present and enjoy your surroundings. There’s nothing better than switching off for the day and spending time with your loved ones in the sun.
