Into the Blue: Why Water can be the Secret to Wellness

16 January 2025

Being by the water

Socially happier

Being by the water is synonymous of good times with friends and family – from holidays past to summers exploring your local coastline. Heading to the coast also often means you’re taking part in an activity such as water sports, or even simply walking riverside or along the golden sands with your nearest and dearest. Spending time with others and experiencing the great outdoors together can be an instant mood booster and make you feel 10x happier. So go on, this is your sign to make more social plans with those closest to you.

Rejoice in the calm

You don’t need us to tell you that water has a natural calming effect. Even just listening to the sound of the waves crashing and rivers flowing can be the tranquillity you need from the hustle and bustle of the everyday. Spending time by the water can massively reduce stress and anxiety, putting you in an instant state of calm. Not only that but being out in the great outdoors and taking in the fresh air can also help with improved sleep. Sign us up!

Drinking water

Mental stimulation

The average human body is made up of up to 60% water, so why you might ask, is it so important that we drink more water? Your mental wellbeing is partly dependant on your water intake, helping maintain a healthy mental function. Not only can water keep you more focused, but it can also increase your mood and increase your energy levels – something we all need a little more of in January!

Physical health

It is recommended that women drink around 2.7 litres per day and men 3.7 litres, with the intake of water being responsible for not only mental wellness, but physical. You’d be surprised at the number of bodily functions rely on water – from digestion, joint health, blood pressure, as well as it assisting in the movement of nutrients and oxygen around the body. So, the next time you turn you nose up as a glass of water, maybe think twice…

Being in the water

Steeped in history

Looking back through history, civilisation has always had a strong bond with water. The Greeks and Romans, for instance, often took to natural springs and baths as a form of relaxation, self-care and therapy. And we’ve continued with this tradition centuries later. Think spa breaks, holidays spent dipping our toes into sparkling waters, or perhaps treating ourselves to an at-home hot-tub – we can’t get enough of the relaxation properties of water. Call this your sign to treat yourself to a dip…

Mood boosting

It’s known that physical and mental health is closely linked, with exercise being a key factor in improving your mood and helping with conditions such as anxiety and depression. It’s argued that swimming is one of the best forms of exercise to work out the entire body, everything from breast stroking laps in the pool to water yoga. Keeping your body moving both in and out of the water increases the heart rate, creating endorphins which makes you feel great. It’s a win-win.
