Connect with nature to eliminate stress
We know that walking can burn calories, ward off obesity and reduce the risk of heart disease but your afternoon stroll might also have significant stress-relieving benefits. Furthermore, many research show the profound effect that fresh air, plants, trees and natural outdoor elements have on our health and well-being. When you spend time outdoors, especially being active, you can lift your mood, think more positively, feel more internal calm and greater harmony with the world around you.
Spend time outdoors helps you to relieve stress, and
also improve memory and attention: Even when it's cold, taking a walk
outside can improve memory and attention span by up to 20 percent. Walking
outdoors has also been shown to improve energy levels. Try walking outside
for 20-30 minutes several times per week to alleviate stress and give your mind
a boost.
Even just looking at photos of nature in a quiet room has a greater
cognitive boost than walking down a busy urban street.
