Since the beginning of time, it has been inevitable that the sea has an abundance of benefits when it comes to our health. While this might be the case, that has not necessarily been the reason as to why people drive off to the beach. For some, it might even act as an escape from reality, and we completely agree… It is quite calming and above all else, magical.
The sea has always been a good mood booster and whatever boosts your mood, obviously boosts your health. Apart from its many benefits, the one thing that it lacks is hydrating your body.
What does seawater consist of?
Seawater consists on average of about 3.5% salt which is made up of sodium chloride. For every one litre of seawater, you thus get 35g of salts. Seawater also contains small amounts of other minerals such as magnesium, calcium and sulphates.
Seawater serves as a natural ‘medicine’ for our bodies because of its salt natural content
While stimulating our bodies, sea water acts as a natural cleanser for our skin. This allows for the prevention and cure of ulcers, acne, lupus, as well as psoriasis. It also strengthens our immune systems. It has scientifically been proven that sea water increases our red blood cells by up to 20% after coming into contact with it. The sea thus acts as a perfect remedy for those that suffer from a weak immune system, high blood sugar and anaemia. It also acts as a natural hypertension reliever.
In addition to all its wonderful benefits, it has also been proven to prevent and slow down the effects that rheumatism may have on the body. Combined with adequate exercise, the ocean air and water, it aids as a medication for both muscle and bone pain, arthritis, circulatory and postsurgical problems.
Finally, there is a reason why people tend to choose the ocean when choosing where to go on a holiday. The sea is a stress and anxiety reliever and will most definitely help you to kick back and relax. Just remember to put off your phone.
