Doutzen Kroes Instagram – Science proves that heading to the beach can help you be more mentally fit. When you first step out on the sand and allow your lungs to be filled with salty misty air, your brain may be receiving instant benefits. The negative ions (oxygen ions with an extra electron attached, produced via water molecules) in the ocean air can actually help calm your brain. -Anne Gherini- During the holidays I got very lucky to go to the beach in Jamaica but usually also in the wintertime I love to take long walks on the beach back home and feel refreshed and recharged. 💫
