Walking around the beach also favors intelligence. As it is easy to understand, the fact that the same “tranquilizer” moves in the city centre or on the coast does not influence. And also, if we walk barefoot, the grains of sand will give a kind of massage to the hundreds of nerve endings of our feet, which produces great pleasure. These nerve endings are related, according to experts, to several vital functions that also improve thanks to massage.

For starters, better in wet sand

If you're thinking about moving day by day on the beach, but you don't have enough training for it, you'll want to walk on the wet sand on the coast in the first few days.

Beware of heat strokes

In summer, it may be common for you to experience “heat accidents” while walking around the beach, as it accumulates a lot of moisture. To avoid these accidental accidents, it is best to follow simple tips:

  • Drink plenty of fluids before, before, during, and after walking. Once you get the habit, you will know when you need more fluid.
  • Drink two large glasses before going to the beach and half a liter more in half an hour after the walk.
  • Carry a bottle of water if you need it to drink during the ride.
