(STUDY FINDS) – Summer days by the beach or evenings at the lake as a child promote better wellbeing decades later, according to fascinating new research. Across 18 different countries, researchers found that adults with better mental health were more likely to have spent time playing in and around coastal and inland waters as children.
Collectively, coastal beaches and inland bodies of water like rivers and lakes are referred to as blue spaces. This study suggests the more time spent around blue spaces as a child the better.
There is already plenty of evidence that spending time in green spaces (parks, forests, etc) as an adult is associated with better mental health and less stress. However, far lass has been established regarding the impact of blue spaces, especially when encountered early in life.
