A Terapia do Mar

by Dra. Deborah Cracknell

Há cada vez mais evidência científica dos benefícios terapêuticos do mar. Este livro conta-nos tudo sobre isso. O mar tem um enorme significado cultural e espiritual para todos nós, que continuamos a olhar para ele como se fosse uma farmácia que trata todos os males. O mar fornece-nos alimento, promove a atividade física, oferece oportunidades de lazer e ajuda a aliviar o stress, além de ser uma eterna fonte de beleza e inspiração.Apesar de nos sentirmos saudáveis e felizes quando estamos junto ao mar, não existiam provas científicas para quantificar esta ligação. Até agora. Certos estudos, onde se inclui o trabalho da investigadora Deborah Cracknell, já revelam os benefícios terapêuticos de respirar o ar marítimo. Neste livro irá encontrar informação sobre:Os benefícios do mar para a saúde física, mental e emocional, e as técnicas para potenciar esses benefícios; Como usufruir das vantagens do oceano na sua casa; O impacto das atividades humanas nos habitats marinhos e o que devemos fazer para o amenizar.

✅ Well researched
❌ Just a summary of how mental and physical health can be improved by activities at the beach, not why the sea is especially important.
✅ Easy to read
❌ Would have liked more research into why specifically “blue-space” is beneficial - why is it better than forest bathing or other immersive nature spaces?

We all know that being by the sea makes us feel better; physically and psychologically- but to what extent? A very interesting insight into the benefits of blue space and nature-based prescribing. And I love the absolute wealth of resources in the bibliography so that you have plenty further reading material should you wish.
I just wish it were a little more detailed rather than simply introducing ideas; more scientific perhaps but I appreciate the text has to be accessible and as I say there is the opportunity to delve into the more scientific studies cited by flicking to the back.

Um livro cheio de banalidades, com muito pouca informação relevante e que, mesmo esta, pode ser facilmente obtida através da internet. Nem as fotografias são de qualidade superior, que justifiquem a compra. Não recomendo.

This book was interesting but had a lot of studies on why people like the ocean better than country.
I think both equally have their own special qualities.

It got super repetitive and I had to skim over those parts quite a bit.

Worth a read especially if you are into statistics.

My revived love affair with swiming and the sea sees me reaching out to books that inspire and support this passion. This is one. All the interesting, different, feeling and expereinces that fuel this passion.

More of an overview than anything else, but sparks with fascinating ideas.

Read mostly by the sea.

I really enjoyed this book as it discussed how much we rely on the ocean as humans.

Beautiful photos. Food for thought with regards to the restorative benefits of the sea on physical and emotional well-being. Something I'd like to revisit.
