Why Living By the Sea is Good for You

January 6, 2017 by Carol Peett

 

Whitesands BeachLiving by the sea really is good for you and now there’s evidence to back that up. Environmental psychologist Dr Lewis Elliot reveals the benefits of living by the coast.

Despite the widespread intuitive feeling that being by the sea makes us happier and healthier, there hasn’t been much scientific evidence to quantify this connection. Until now. Environmental psychologist Dr Lewis Elliott studies how the natural environment, in particular the coast, makes us feel, think and behave – and he and his team at the University of Exeter’s European Centre for Environment & Human Health are unravelling the tangible benefits of breathing in the fresh sea air.

1. You don’t have to get your feet wet to reap the health benefits – even just a view of the sea can promote reductions in heart rate and improvements in mood

2. You rate your health as significantly better if you live within 5km of the British coastline

3. You are more likely to exercise regularly if you live within 1km of the  coastline

4. You are more likely to have better mental health if you live within 5km of the British coastline

5. The UK economy could benefit to the tune of £176m of healthcare savings per year from water-based recreation alone.

 

New research has also revealed that people who live close to roads could have a higher risk of dementia and, according to David Newby, British Heart Foundation professor of cardiology at the University of Edinburgh, air pollution is responsible for an average loss of life expectancy of six months across the UK; further reasons to escape the towns and cities and live by the sea.

If you are looking to move to West Wales to be close to some of the most spectacular beaches in the UK, or thinking of buying a holiday home here, give West Wales Property Finders a call on 01834 862816.  Over 90% of the properties we find for our clients never hit the open market ensuring they get the cream of the crop and, at the same time, we save them time, money and stress by handling the negotiation and transaction for them. www.westwalespropertyfinders.co.uk
