GET SOME THERA-SEA
A report in 2019 confirmed what many of us have understood intuitively for years: life is better by the sea. Researchers from the University of Exeter found that people living within half a mile of the shore were nearly a quarter less likely to experience mental health problems. The coast was a ‘protective zone’ for psychological wellbeing, they suggested in the journal Health & Place.
Simultaneously, a report in science journal that year confirmed that 120 minutes in nature a week lowered stress and boosted the immune system. If two hours outside is as efficacious as a fistful of pills how might you feel after two days by the coast?
