5 health benefits of living by a river

jumping on river

Owning a riverside home is more than just a fulfillment of your dreams – it’s also the gateway to a healthier lifestyle.  Here’s why: 

  1. Sleep better

  2. Just looking at a body of water can clear the mind of unwanted thoughts. What if you lived in a place where you could hear soothing water sounds all day? It’s one of the best things if you want to achieve a zen-like state or fall into a deep, restful sleep. No need for calming phone apps when you live next to a river. 

  3. Enjoy the fresh air

  4. In areas where water is abundant, the air is properly charged with negative ions, allowing the body to absorb more oxygen. In addition, it increases serotonin levels in the body, creating a positive mood and reducing stress levels. Many of the homes for sale in Washington’s Methow Valley, particularly those in Winthrop, Twisp, and Mazama, are located near a river, where fresh air flows freely. If you’re thinking about buying a riverside home, look into these areas. Explore our website to see a selection of gorgeous properties in the Methow Valley.

  5. Boost your immunity 

  6. It is evident that the more time you spend near the water, the happier you will become and the less stressed you will feel. A combination of fresh air, sufficient sunlight, daily vitamins, adequate sleep, and relaxation will help boost your immunity. Combined with an active lifestyle and dietary changes, people who move to a riverside home can improve their health and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

  7. Get to eat your vitamins

  8. Fish is a lean, nutrient-rich protein, often packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, and tons of vitamins. If you live near a river or a lake, you can catch dinner in your own backyard and enjoy a nutritious meal.

  9. Be inspired 

  10. Given all of the benefits listed above, it’s easy to see how living near water improves one’s overall well-being. Life in the modern world is busy, noisy, and exhausting. Coming home to your riverside property after a long day is a welcome respite, allowing you to shed the worries of the day and perhaps come up with some of the best ideas of your life because you are more focused and inspired.
