(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 11, 2015 ) Chattanooga, TN -- Yvonne Hitchcock, a director of Santulana, has long been an advocate of spending time either in the sea or on the beach. Hitchcock says, "Man has been drawn to the sea for centuries not only for sustenance and exploration, but for the healing qualities it possesses."
The sound of the sea is thought to alter brain wave patterns, causing a state of calmness. This sense of peace makes life's stresses fade away and therefore assists in maintaining not only good physical health but also mental health.
Sea air contains negative ions which help in the absorption of life-giving oxygen by neutralizing free radicals. This, in turn, gives a feeling of deep relaxation which results in an excellent night's sleep. Negative ions have a positive effect on serotonin which is another factor responsible for that feeling of peace and tranquility.
Seawater is known to contain 83 minerals and most of those are beneficial to the body. People with skin complaints, such as psoriasis or eczema, or more serious conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and asthma, have been known to improve dramatically when in regular contact with seawater and sea air. Seawater is also known for its ability to quicken the healing of wounds and to detoxify the body.
The sand on the beach provides a free foot exfoliation and is the perfect location for an exercise class. Around the world, people are taking Pilates, yoga, tai chi, Swiss ball or exercise ball classes on the beach, to reap the added benefits of sea air, water, and sand, with a dose of vitamin D from the sun thrown in for good measure.
