If you take a look at a map of the world’s Blue Zones — the areas with the highest concentration of centenarians — every one of them is situated along a coastline. Little wonder: settling down by the sea, in a so-called “blue space,” has been linked to a 17% reduction in mortality rate. One study suggested that living within 250 meters of a seaside environment helps reduce stress levels, with the smell and sounds offering a “wonderful tonic.”

sigh typical confusion of correlation and causation so common in the health industry and media. people who live near water probably have more money. they can afford better healthcare.

Before that even, coast people have historically have had access to better food supplies and some essential nutrients from the sea I don't the name of in english, seems more important than the "smell and sounds"

Says an American. But in pretty much every other Western nation, health care is more or less the same...
