Want Less Stress? Move to the Central Coast!

And our health benefits from life here on the Central Coast.

Did you know you sleep better because our sea air is charged with healthy negative ions that accelerate our ability to absorb
oxygen? Negative ions also balance levels of serotonin, a body chemical linked with mood and stress, which is why after a holiday you feel more alert, relaxed and energized. Also, when we’re lying on the beach, the heat of the sun affects our endocrine system – the part of our body which secretes endorphins – the natural chemicals in our body designed to make us feel relaxed and less stressed. Finally, research shows that the sound of waves alters wave patterns in the brain lulling you into a deeply relaxed state. Relaxing in this way can help rejuvenate the mind and body.

Is it any wonder we feel more laid back when we are here along the Monterey Bay. Take the time to enjoy all of this whether visiting or living here – remember, there is only one Central Coast!
