Health Benefits of Beach Vacations

North Myrtle Beach condosEveryone enjoys time off from work but did you know there are health benefits related to vacationing at the beach that you won’t get by spending your vacation at home, catching up on projects?

For your next vacation come to South Carolina and stay in one of our North Myrtle Beach condos. You’ll find after a vacation with us that your mind will be mentally sharper and your emotional attitude much more relaxed than when you arrived. There is something about all this sun and salt water that just energizes and revitalizes you.

Whether you stay indoors at our North Myrtle Beach condos and swim in our pool or trek up and down the beach, you’re going to wind up your week physically stronger than when you got here. If beach walking and pool swimming doesn’t do it then surely the 110 golf courses in the area will!

All the sunshine we have here in coastal South Carolina will have a positive effect on you. It will make you happier and your overall mood will be improved when you leave your North Myrtle Beach condos and spend time outdoors. There is a chemical explanation for the happiness felt after a beach vacation. Endorphins, natural mood elevators, are released by the body after physical activity. A five minute walk on the beach is sufficient to get endorphins flowing, making you feel happier.

A certain amount of vitamin D is recommended daily and can be obtained through exposure to the sun. Insufficient amounts of vitamin D impair the calcium density in bones and has been linked to seasonal affective disorder and depression.
