Simply being outdoors provides us with a big reduction in our our body’s main stress hormone cortisol and enhances our mental well-being🌿

A few more proven stats on the most natural medicine of being & exercising outside:

•One big English survey included participants who engaged in outdoor activities for at least 2 hours per week. 90% (!) of participants reported increased mental well-being and reduced levels of stress.

•A study published in the “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” found a 20% improvement in working memory performance after these nature walks compared to walks in urban settings.

•Just 5 minutes of exercise in a natural setting resulted in significant improvements in mood and self-esteem, with the most substantial benefits seen with short bursts of activity outdoors.

Let’s normalise dates with nature 💚🌿
