Here’s Why You Should Spend Time Outdoors

..................................................................................................... Spending some time out in nature can improve your health both mentally and physiologically. It’s best to spend your spare time outside in the park. Exposing yourself to nature therapy will positively improve your problem solving skills and creativity rather than constantly exposing yourself to technology. Here are more reasons to go outside: A Better Ability to Concentrate : Studies have shown that walks in nature can help improve your focus. Just looking at a natural scene improves your concentration. Astonishingly, this is perhaps the safest effective and cheap method to assist kids suffering from ADHD. Memory Development : A simple walk through the green nature rather that the city can improve your short-term memory up to 20% better. Easing Stress : We often find ourselves pressured and stressed out. According to studies, cortisol levels, which are hormones related to stress, are markedly lower in students who take walks in the forest compared to the ones who spend time in the city.


Better Mental State : Spending time outdoors not only relieves stress, it also helps fight off depression and other mental related health issues. Furthermore, it lifts up your self-esteem remarkably. Less Signs of Inflammation : You may experience signs of inflammation after being subjected to pathogens or injury. Sometimes, a person might get excessively inflamed which leads up to illness. People who spend time outdoors have a lower chance of this happening than people in the city. Reduced Risk of Myopia : Individuals who spend more time outside have a lower risk of developing myopia, or nearsightedness. Physical activity is also related to vision, try some outdoor sports and protect your eyes. Improved Immune System : The immune system protects us against many diseases such as cold and flu in addition to more serious diseases such as cancer.
