At Ashton Pointe Apartments, discover the benefits of quick commutes to the greater Beaufort area and easy access to the water. Just being near the salt water has its own benefits for your body, inside and out. Considering apartments in Beaufort, SC? Here are some benefits of living here and living near the ocean.
It gets you moving
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of living by the ocean is that it promotes exercise. Various scientific investigations have proven that beach environments encourage us to get out and get active; whether that’s walking along the sand, swimming or going for a jog.
It reduces stress
Beaches have also been shown to have a calming effect on us. Salt water produces two hormones called serotoninand melatonin, both of which work to reduce our stress levels and allow a good night’s sleep.
It makes you look younger and healthier
Imagine that just by living near the ocean you can feel years younger. As well as opening pores and improving circulation, saltwater helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and reduce cellulite by supplying natural electrolytes, giving you an even and toned complexion. And, for all eczema sufferers and those with dry skin, sea water is particularly useful in hydrating the skin, so you can save a few dollars on face cream and go for a morning swim instead!
It gives you great hair
Forget going to the hairdresser, the sea has its own salon. It acts as a softener to hair helping to reduce dandruff and though sometimes undesired, it can add huge amounts of volume to you hair.
