May Help Protect Against Heart Disease: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S., according to the CDC.9 A 2015 small, randomized control trial looked at the impact of low-calorie cranberry juice on heart disease risk factors. Thirty women and 26 men consumed either 240 mL (one cup or eight ounces) of low-calorie cranberry juice or a placebo with a matching flavor, color, and calorie level twice per day for eight weeks. The placebo contained varying amounts of phenolic antioxidants and sugar. May Support Immune Function: In addition to its antibacterial properties, cranberry juice may help bolster the immune system.

Walking on the Beach - 5 Benefits It's twice as much exercise as a traditional walk - It's not just the sun that's making you sweat. Studies show that walking on sand increases how much energy you use. Since sand provides natural (and often challenging) resistance, walking on the beach will require more effort than walking on flat terrain. It boosts strength and endurance - A stroll on the sand requires a different kind of effort compared to walking on a hard surface like a pavement or a treadmill. It's great for improving balance - Walking on the uneven surface of sand challenges your stability, therefore supporting better posture and improving your overall gait (aka your stride, or how you walk). It increases vitamin D - You've probably heard by now that being in the sun is a natural way to increase your vitamin D stores, and this commonly given advice is true. Vitamin D is essential for building healthy bones and maintaining a healthy immune system to fight off illness. It's an excellent activity for lowering stress: Being in nature has been found to decrease stress and improve mental health (even 10 to 15 minutes outside in a natural setting can do wonders). And studies show that blue spaces like oceans and beach views, specifically, have a restoring effect on the body, subsequently reducing stress and anxiety. 4 Morning Drinks For Glowing And Healthy Skin Honey And Lemon Water: Add two to three spoons of honey and a spoon of lemon juice to water as this acts as an electrolyte and produces antioxidants and anti-aging components.
