Nature and Health: Two Sides of A Coin!

Filed Under (Holistic Remedies, Natural Cure) by Eri on 16-03-2009

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.  Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.  (John Muir)

Nature makes us feel good. This is often taken for granted yet many people nowadays around the world live in urban areas with little access to nature.

Our innate affinity with nature is supported in recent research which links exposure to natural environments with improved mental and physical health.

Natural environments are likely to benefit health in three ways:

• Providing an opportunity to relax from stress
• Providing opportunities to be physically active (which benefits both physical and mental health).
• Providing opportunities to socialize (people with good social networks enjoy better health).

There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that the great outdoors (and that can include even small pieces of urban green space!) can have positive effects on many aspects of our health. It can encourage us to be more active by providing facilities to walk, cycle and play, but being in nature also helps to reduce stress and generally improve mental health.
