The latest trend in the search for well-being proposes getting closer to water
In addition to being the healthiest drink in the world, getting close to water helps the brain to expel toxins, strengthens our relationship with nature and brings calmness and serenity.
Well-being and stress are two opposing concepts that go hand in hand in our everyday lives. We are all seeking a physical and mental state that gives satisfaction and tranquillity, but without realising it, the stressful rate at which we live moves us further away from our goal. In order to try to reach this optimum, healthy state, today we opt for all kinds of techniques, treatments and habits.
The latest preference is the so-called ‘Blue Mind’ theory, derived from the well-being trend leaning towards nature, breathing and the senses. Mainly inspired by the book ‘Blue Mind’ by Wallace J Nichols and Ted Talk, this trend defends the idea of a peaceful, serene state associated with water. In addition to its healthy physical and natural capacities, water helps the brain to expel toxins and make our hormones stable and balanced. Therefore, in order to have a ‘blue mind’, you must be close to water: swimming, surfing, sailing or just sitting next to a lake or an ocean. This action, added to the blue colour of the water, which brings tranquillity and serenity, is a new ingredient on the rise that helps to reduce the stress in our lives.
