What is it about the Water's Edge?
It's hard to resist the
pull of the ocean, especially if you live inland and rarely get to see those
beckoning rolling waves. You may never put on a swimsuit, but still that ocean
water washing over your toes says something good. What is that?
In part, it's actually
due to the presence of oxygen atoms that have extra electrons, creating what
are known as negative ions. Some
scientists believe that the negative ion is key to what energizes and refreshes
people who breakaway to spend a little time in outdoor, natural settings, such
as lakeside in the mountains. Probably the highest concentration of these
negative ions exists at the intersection of the waves and the sand at less
frequented beaches. The combination of sun, water, and the naturally occurring
synthesis commonly brings about spontaneous good feelings.
Next time you are
strolling along the beach, you can appreciate a bit of insider knowledge along
with the magnificent scenery, and enjoy it all the more!
