Answer:

Living near the ocean also encourages physical activity. Walks on the sand, swimming, surfing, and beach volleyball are excellent forms of exercise. Daily exercise is important for fighting obesity, improving heart health, and reducing cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Living close to the ocean encourages people to get out and enjoy the salt air and sunshine, staying active and providing the health benefits of daily exercise.

People living near the ocean are also more likely to spend time outdoors, which increases their vitamin D production. Vitamin D is essential to proper body functioning and promoting calcium absorption, bone strength, and immune health.

Generally, being landlocked creates some political and economic handicaps that having access to international waters would avoid. For this reason, nations large and small throughout history have sought to gain access to open waters, even at great expense in wealth, bloodshed, and political capital.

The economic disadvantages of being landlocked can be alleviated or aggravated depending on degree of development, surrounding trade routes and freedom of trade, language barriers, and other considerations. Some landlocked countries are quite affluent, such as Andorra, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, San Marino, Switzerland, and Vatican City, all of which, excluding Luxembourg, which is a founding member of NATO, frequently employ neutrality in global political issues. The majority, however, are classified as Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs).Nine of the twelve countries with the lowest Human Development Indices (HDI) are landlocked.
