Ever wondered why a simple walk along the beach or a moment by a lakeside feels so relaxed? Or why the sound of a flowing river can calm the mind? There's a scientific reason behind our strong feeling for water.
According to Wallace J. Nichols, being close to water can cause a certain state(状态) of mind. The scientist call it"Blue Mind". This state is marked by relaxation and a sense of happiness.
This theory is well supported by science. Researchers have found that water can lower the body's levels of the stress hormone(压力荷尔蒙). One study found that people living near bodies of water report feeling calmer and less stressed. The sight and sound of water are believed to bring about a flood of neurochemicals(神经化学物质), which can increase blood flow to the brain and heart, and help you relax.
Water activities, from swimming to even watching animals in the sea, can help calm the mind and reduce stress levels. In addition, the blue color of water has also been proven to have calming effects on the mind. Research shows that blue spaces are as helpful as green spaces ( like forests and parks) when it comes to creating feelings of love. They can both improve mood. What if it's hard to get water? Even listening to the sound of water can help reduce stress levels.
So, the next time you' re feeling down or in need of a break, consider spending time near a body of water. Whether it's the ocean, a river, a lake, or simply a swimming pool, water will calm your mind.
