http://www.sunsetcove.com/ | Disconnecting from a busy schedule to enjoy life is critical to overall health and happiness. Of all the destinations to choose from, a beach vacation encompasses benefits for the mind, body and soul. Laguna Beach’s Sunset Cove Villas will meet your relaxation needs.

1. BENEFITS FOR THE
MIND, BODY AND SOUL

2. The beach is one of the most relaxing destinations imaginable,
providing an opportunity to unplug from the hustle of our daily lives
and connect with ourselves and nature. From basking in the sun to
relaxing under an umbrella and playing in the sand and ocean,
you’ll feel fully revitalized after a day at the beach. A California
beach vacation rental boasts some serious health benefits and
may be just what the doctor ordered.

3. The sun is a great source
of Vitamin D and provides
most of our daily intake
from the UVB rays. Vitamin
D is important for bone
health and can even
improve mental health.
The key is a healthy level
of exposure. A mere 10-15
minutes of unprotected
exposure is all that is
needed before it is time
to slather on the sunblock.

4. Sunlight has been
shown to decrease
depression and make
us happier because it
boosts the brain's
production of
serotonin, making
sunlight a natural
antidepressant.
Serotonin also has a
positive effect on
stress, sleep and
appetite.

5. We all want to look our best
and the ocean has
components to do just that!
Sea water contains anti-aging
minerals that
preserve the elasticity of
skin. A brief swim won’t
make us look 10 years
younger like a cosmetic
procedure might, but it is a
fun, healthy, and
inexpensive way to make
everything a little bit tighter.
As an added bonus, sea
water contains high levels
of minerals like magnesium,
potassium and iodine,
which help fight infection,
offers therapeutic effects,
and help the body heal
and detoxify.

6. The greatest thing about a
beach vacation is that it
decreases stress levels by
helping you unplug. Turn off
the smartphones and the
Wi-Fi, and the stress melts
away. Better yet, don’t
even bring the devices with
you. Constant connectivity
is associated with stress, loss
of sleep and depression.
Imagine walking on the
sand with relaxed fingers as
your hands swing freely at
your sides, without gripping
your device tightly.

7. Sand is a natural exfoliant,
and walking on wet sand
peels off dead skin cells from
your feet, leaving them much
softer.
Your skin sheds tens of
thousands of skin cells every
minute, and sometimes they
stay attached to your body,
which can cause your pores
to clog and lead to
blackheads and acne.
Exfoliation keeps the skin
clean, healthy and
rejuvenated.
You also have thousands of
nerve endings in each foot
that are triggered when you
walk across those tiny grains.
This acts as a healthy and
stimulating massage.
Exfoliate Your Skin

8. It doesn’t matter whether you are with
your family, friends, a significant other or
colleagues. A vacation is the ideal time
to reconnect and revitalize relationships
that have taken a backseat or been
compromised due to our 24/7 work-obsessed
culture.

9. It’s no secret that being
active seems like less of a
chore when it’s fun! A
beach vacation is the
perfect time for water
sports, boat rides, kayaking,
sailing, boating, jet skiing,
surfing, parasailing, scuba
diving and anything else
you can think of to get
moving. Even walking and
running on the sand take
more energy than doing so
on a flat surface, meaning
you burn more calories.
