Blue Health
Being near water makes you happier.
The concept of blue health started when researches at the university of Sussex asked 20,000 people to record their feelings and location. They had 1,000,000 responses and found that people were happier when they were in blue spaces.
Not just happier - healthier too
A study from Glasgow university has found that spending time in blue spaces lowers stress, anxiety, obesity, cardiovascular disease and premature death.
