Why Does Everyone at Shutters Feel So Good?

Why is it that guests at Shutters on the Beach are more alert and productive, in better moods, more relaxed and generally in better health than most travelers? Over 700 studies dating as far back as the 1930's, point to the beneficial effects of negative ions, including reduced anxiety and depression, a healthier appetite, better sleep, increased mental alertness, concentration, vitality and less susceptibility to colds and the flu. Negative ions are also credited with elevating moods, increasing cellular health and naturally helping to detoxify the body. Indeed, negative ions make nutrients more available to the body, especially vitamins C and B complex.

Ions are electrically charged particles, generated by the natural radiations from the earth and sun. A negative ion is formed when an electron attaches itself to an oxygen molecule. Generally, there are more positive ions than negative. However, at the ocean, where water is always falling and rising, (which creates negative ions), there are more negative ions then positive ones. The negative air ions are absorbed into the bloodstream, bringing about the numerous health benefits.

"Our guests experience an overall sense of well-being at Shutters because we not only go to great lengths to create a healthy environment, but our beachfront location gives our guests unlimited access to negative ions, which, according to research, is a great source of natural health-giving properties." said Armella Stepan, general manager of Shutters.

Business travelers at Shutters most likely will find themselves more focused and productive, while at the same time, more relaxed. Leisure travelers can look forward to a deep sleep, healthy appetite and a natural detoxification. Rest and relaxation is also encouraged by a lavender mist, which is sprayed in each room at turndown. There is even a Fitness Adventure program, which features activities such as ocean running and mountain climbing.
