Feel the benefits of our blue spaces
The health benefits of spending time near blue spaces, such as by lakes, rivers and the sea, are becoming increasingly well known. As Kate Campbell, a health psychology researcher at The Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, says in this BBC article “Blue spaces provide us with distractions that take our mind away from the day-to-day hassles of life … the sound of the crashing waves, the smell of salty air, the crunching of sand beneath our toes…The sensations relax our bodies and tell our minds to switch off.” Luckily, here in Jersey, we are surrounded by the sea and, wherever you are in the island, you are never more than 10 minutes away from its sparkling serenity. Find out why being by the sea is just so very good for you.
