Spending Time in Nature Leads to Better Health
How much time have you been spending outdoors lately?
Recent studies have shown that time in nature is good not only for your physical health, but for your mental and emotional wellbeing too! It lowers your risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, mental distress, and other health issues while also resulting in a better sense of wellbeing and improved cognitive function.
So you’re probably wondering: how much time do you really have to spend outside to get all those benefits? Just 2 hours per week! And the good news is you can spend that time any way you want, as long as it’s in a natural setting.
The research shows that “nature is not only nice to have, but it’s a have-to-have for physical health and cognitive function”. Thankfully, here in Humboldt we are blessed with an ample amount of space to get outdoors and enjoy some stunning scenery right from our doorsteps.
