Your brains prefrontal cortex is activated when listening to the sound of the ocean. This area of the brain is associated with self-refection and emotion. Ocean waves generate negative ions. What does this mean? The peaceful state our bodies feel from being at the beach are a result of molecular changes that are happening in our bodies. The ocean’s waves produce negative ions which accelerate our bodies ability to absorb oxygen. These also balance levels of serotonin; a chemical produced by the body that is related to mood and stress. This is one reason why being at the beach have been linked, by scientists to positive mental energy and a general overall sense of well-being and health. If that wasn’t enough of a reason to hit the waves, on top of that your stress hormone cortisol levels will lower. So if you’re feeling down or a little blue, I’m going to prescribe that you go to the beach to relax & recharge.
