Living near water can be beneficial to your mental health
We know
that people are more likely to experience mental health disorders in areas with
greater population density. Overcrowding, pollution, urban violence, and less
social support may all be contributing factors, and this is becoming more of a
challenge as more people around the world move into towns and cities. So far,
studies show that people living near water have a lower risk of premature
death, a lower risk of obesity, and have better mental health.
In my opinion,
living near water seriously has a positive impact on life, because I personally
felt better when I was spending my time nearby a lake or sea. Furthermore, when you live near water it’s most likely you will go outside and
do some activities. I know it’s hard to see a lot of water bodies especially in
big cities but there’s still some space where we could build artificial ones to improve residents’ health.

I wonder whether this principle applies to cities on water like New York or Stockholm or Gdańsk.
