And with this increase in people moving to the countryside in search of solace, also came a surge in people wanting to move to the coast. In fact, searches on Rightmove at the beginning of 2021 showed Cornwall, and its miles of scenic coastline, had overtaken London as the most searched-for location on the property site.<\/p>\n<p>But, while we regularly hear of nature therapy, people are less likely to hone in on the super power of water as a standalone health aid. Slowly blue health \u2014 the idea that being near or on water is good for physical and mental health \u2014 is washing through society though, bringing with it waves of change that are positive and progressive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are cognitive and emotional benefits that we derive every time we spend time by water,\u201d writes Wallace J Nichols in his 2014 best-selling book Blue Mind, which kicked off this recent surge of interest in the effects of water on our wellbeing. \u201cIt&#8217;s chemistry, it&#8217;s biology, it&#8217;s physiology. It&#8217;s deeply personal but it&#8217;s also strong science.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>So, What\u2019s the Science Say?<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.longdom.org\/open-access\/effects-of-the-coastal-environment-on-wellbeing-jczm-1000421.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 study<\/a> found that views of blue spaces are associated with lower levels of psychological distress, more so than with green spaces. Even the colour itself is linked to calmness and serenity. As a result of installing blue lights, a railway line in Tokyo saw an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/future\/article\/20190122-can-blue-lights-prevent-suicide-at-train-stations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">84 percent reduction in suicides<\/a>. Research also shows that surfers report significantly fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety and that living by the coast leads to improved physical and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Think about it. How often are you drawn to the seaside for a holiday? Most people, be it through nostalgia or positive association, think of the coast as a calming environment, and one they actively want to visit for escapism.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-386186 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/10\/AdobeStock_117846865-1200x675.jpeg\" alt=\"boy playing in ocean\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Considering salt water has been used in medicine for centuries, it\u2019s not surprising. Hippocrates coined the term thalassotherapy to describe the healing effects of seawater, and wrote about how it reduces inflammation by bringing in minerals that the body uses to boost immunity. Similarly, the sea contains magnesium, an element that is clinically proven to calm the mind. Salt water also \u200b\u200beliminates toxins, not to mention it helps to normalise blood pressure, too.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since I started surfing seven years ago, I\u2019ve used immersing myself within ocean environments to manage my anxiety. Aside from the fact that being in the waves means I have to focus purely on the power of nature, the soft fascination at play from having wider horizons allows my mind to feel clearer.<\/p>\n<p>In his book, Nichols writes that there is less intentional focus in play at the coast, and soft fascination allows the mind to wander and a person to \u201cdrift\u201d with effortless attention. \u201cIt\u2019s the antidote to what we refer to as \u2018red mind\u2019, which is the anxious, over-connected, and over-stimulated state that defines the normal of modern life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s due to this that researchers have identified two kinds of human attention: directed and involuntary. Water plays into our involuntary attention, stimulating it and allowing our directed attention time to rest which, in turn, helps our minds to restore and relax.<\/p>\n<h2>Blue Health in Reality<\/h2>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s exactly why Nick Hounsfield dedicated 10 years to founding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewave.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wave<\/a>, an inland surfing lake in Bristol. \u201cMy happy medium is being around water,\u201d says Hounsfield. \u201cI\u2019ve always had this profound connection, and it\u2019s become a place that I can reflect, a place I can go to when I\u2019m traumatised or anxious. Bringing the waves inland was because, fundamentally, I knew it was something people could really benefit from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hounsfield tells me that he realised the power of blue health when he was involved in the adaptive surf community seven years\u2019 ago, but also since having a stroke in February 2020. After losing the ability to speak and some of the mobility in his right hand, he used water to help himself recover.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_386187\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-386187\" class=\"wp-image-386187 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/10\/Heading-in-for-a-summer-surf-at-The-Wave-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"The wave inland surfing lake\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-386187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Wave<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cJust being around water would supercharge my recovery and help in the repairing of my brain,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019d [The Wave] only just released a blue health report, pulling together evidence-based research and, suddenly, I was seeing it in action everyday. Every time I got in the water, I felt better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hounsfield talks about how it helped him to piece together a sense of calm, and allowed him to process what was going on in his brain. \u201cIt was a supportive environment, both physically and mentally,\u201d notes Nick. \u201cIt was as though it helped the neurons connect back together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of this inherent physiological response, blue health coach <a href=\"https:\/\/goingcoastal.blue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lizzi Larbalestier<\/a>, who coaches her clients on the beaches of Cornwall, tells me how people breathe differently around water, which means their nervous system is in a more balanced state. \u201cRather than being in a fight or flight space, they are in a space of coherence,\u201d she says. \u201cThe coast is expansive and not restrictive. As a coach, I work with the environment to encourage people to think differently. Your neurochemicals are responding in a specific way to being out in a blue space. It promotes less formality and encourages people to be more open.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Embracing the Concept<\/h2>\n<p>Acceptance surrounding blue health is gaining momentum \u2014 perhaps due to the Attenborough effect, and the recent lockdowns. \u201cIt\u2019s important to recognise how fragile our ocean is and how we are linked to it,\u201d says Larbalestier. \u201cIt\u2019s accessible to everybody but not separate to them &#8211; our health and the ocean health is one of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Larbalestier is passionate about making blue health accessible to all, and raises awareness of the fact it can be found all around us in everyday life. You can live in urban environments, for example, and still find the solace and power of blue around you. \u201cGo to aquariums, fountains, streams, or even a <a href=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/inform\/the-best-outdoor-swimming-pools-and-lidos-in-london\/\">swimming pool<\/a>,\u201d she explains. \u201cEven if my preference is wild water, the virtual blue also helps. You can find blue health through art or simply the lyrics of a song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You might not need to join the mass exodus then after all; you can just bring the ocean to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the nutrients in seawater to its role in therapy and rehabilitation, writer Bethan Andrews explores the positive impact being in and near water can have on our wellbeing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24857,"featured_media":386185,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[73,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-386184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life","category-mind"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.1 (Yoast SEO v26.6) -
