7 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SPEND MORE TIME IN NATURE
Whether it's warm, pouring, snowing or the trees are losing their leaves... you should take every opportunity to be in nature.
"What can nature do for me after all I have done for her?"
The following 7 reasons will convince you:
➕ A walk in the countryside helps your memory.
➕ You feel happier. According to a Finnish study, people who spent just 15 minutes in nature (per day) felt more mentally refreshed and relaxed.
➕ Nature heals you. That sounds esoteric, but it should be taken literally! Natural light helps us to heal faster, for example after operations, and to generally feel less pain. Nature thus becomes a natural painkiller.
➕ You can concentrate better. Being in nature gives your mind a break, which will repay you with a stronger focus on later tasks. If you do yoga at the same time, your mind will become a laser!
➕ You can lose weight. Nature is not a magic pill for losing weight, but people who move outside move more. We walk more steps, have more space to let off steam and in the long run this has a very positive effect on our energy balance.
➕ More vitamin D. Surprise, the more you are outside, the more sun you get and the more vitamin D you absorb. This vitamin is said to prevent cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease. But be careful: don't expose yourself to the sun unprotected for too long!
➕ Less stress. Being outside reduces your stress levels tremendously. Studies show that any time spent outdoors is good for your mind and heart.
