By the Sea: The therapeutic benefits of being in, on and by the water

This book explores the therapeutic benefits of being near the sea, combining intuition, instinct, and modern science. Throughout history, people have been drawn to the sea. Water holds immense cultural and spiritual significance, and sand and surf have been considered a natural pharmacy.

Despite the intuitive feeling that being by the sea brings happiness and health, scientific evidence has been limited. However, environmental psychology reveals the tangible benefits of fresh sea air.

Spending time by the sea offers several advantages:

- Reduced heart rate and improved mood.

- Accelerated oxygen absorption and balanced serotonin levels due to negative ions in the air.

- Beneficial climate for respiratory organs, skin, circulation, and immune system.

- Improved mental health.

- Increased likelihood of exercise.
