Its spring and nature are reborn! So let’s take the opportunity to put our noses outside because many studies show all the benefits it has on our health and mood.
An iodized walk to oxygenate
The sea air has it all: thanks to maximum atmospheric pressure (because we are at sea level), it is rich in oxygen and negative ions, released by the breaking of the waves, algae, and spray. The concentration of negative ions at the seaside is on average 5,000/cm³: for comparison, it is only 200/cm³ in town. These boost blood circulation and exchanges between cells. Finally, the sea air is naturally more supplied with trace elements, such as iodine, which stimulates the production of thyroid hormones and helps resist the daily aggressions that the body undergoes (stress, fatigue, etc.). This is all the more true on coastlines rich in algae. We finally breathe deeply: studies have even shown an improvement in respiratory symptoms in people with asthma. The good news is that you benefit from the sea air on the coast and up to 5 km inland.
