Living by the coast linked to improved health, study finds.

New research led by Sandra Geiger from the Environmental Psychology Group at the University of Vienna confirms that living near or visiting the seaside is associated with better health regardless of country or personal income. The study surveyed over 15,000 participants across 15 countries and found that everyone seems to benefit from being near the seaside, not just the wealthy.
