Finally proven: sea views are good!
That makes something with us ...
Looking at the sea, that's what's going on with us: this infinity, the noise, the vastness, the wind, the glitter and sparkle ... Sometimes we sit for hours and watch. Alone, next to the girlfriend or the loved one, we talk or remain silent - no matter, we always feel somehow rested and relaxed.
No wonder that two out of three Germans are on beach vacation. Sure, mountains also have something, and deserts and forests and canyons and cities. But nothing is as attractive to us as the sea. On islands we are completely surrounded by water and that is certainly a reason why we especially appreciate island holidays. And for a room with sea view (yeah!) We also like to spend a little bit more.
We are all "water gazers" - but why only?
Now, it has been scientifically proven why so many of us are so passionate about water? are. In fact, American and New Zealand researchers have found in a joint study that prolonged sea-fog lowers the stress level.
They have analyzed how the view of nature affects the psychological well-being of humans. They have considered green spaces such as parks and blue areas like the sea. And found: people who often have the opportunity to look into blue spaces (ergo sea) are less stressed than others. For their study, they have investigated residents of the New Zealand capital Wellington, which is located on the sea.
Blue calms down? Not only!
Blue, we already knew that, is a soothing color. But researchers at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver have also found that color also stimulates creativity and the development of new solution strategies. Maybe that's why we so often dream of a different, better life by the sea? of course by the sea.
