10 healthy effects from contact with nature

Many studies prove that hours spent outside have a very beneficial effect on our body and mind. Among them, one comes from the University of Exeter medical school in the United Kingdom, which also tells us what would be the ideal time to get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature. Spending at least two hours a week in the countryside gives us healthy effects that we probably don't even imagine.

1- ANXIETY AND STRESS. Direct contact with natural environments, as confirmed by the World Health Organization, helps to reduce stress levels, muscle tension and alleviate various forms of anxiety, helping us to take our mind off our daily worries.

2- DEPRESSION. Hours outside are very valuable for those suffering from depression, like the best medicine. In particular, landscapes with the presence of water contribute to improving our vision of the world, giving us positive stimuli; be it rivers, lakes or the sea.

3- CONCENTRATION . As evidenced by special tests, in addition to promoting a greater sense of calm, frequenting natural environments, especially forests, emphasizes our ability to concentrate, helping us to think better.

4- LIVING AND SELF-ESTEEM. Even a simple walk in the park, preferably at a fast pace, or pedaling a bicycle, can suddenly make us feel more vital and energetic, thereby improving the perception of our physical and growing momentum.

5- CREATIVITY. Interacting with natural landscapes allows us to receive a wide range of sensory and visual stimuli that enhance our creativity and diligence. More specifically, a day in nature can increase our "creative thinking" by about 50%.

6- MEMORY . Environments rich in trees, rivers, lakes, plants, flowers and animals provide our mind with a variety of stimuli and interactions that significantly increase its memory capacity.

7- SLEEP. Hours spent in nature also help our biological clock, gently bringing us closer to nature's rhythms in terms of the sleep-wake cycle to ensure a healthier and more invigorating night's rest.

8- IMMUNE SYSTEM. Vitamin D (also called the "sunshine vitamin") produced with greater intensity if we are in direct contact with sunlight is essential for our immune system. Useful for the prevention of various types of pathologies, starting from those of the bones to those of the skin.

9- SIGHT (AND OTHER SENSES). Research has shown that teenagers who spend more time outdoors are less likely to develop vision-related diseases (mainly myopia) in the long term. But all the other senses, starting with the sense of smell, tend to improve their efficiency by spending more time outdoors.

10- LENGTH OF LIFE. In general, the more hours we spend outside, the more we extend our lifespan. In particular, among those who live in areas with a high percentage of vegetation, there has been a lower incidence of kidney, respiratory and oncological diseases as well as an acceleration of healing processes for various other pathologies.
