The Power of Nature

"Even if you have to stay inside most of the time, most days, it’s a good idea to spend at least some time outside. Pleasant environments such as parks and green spaces can help distract us from our worries, and exposure to sunlight helps our bodies to manufacture vitamin D. This isn’t just good for our physical health: research suggests that it can raise our levels of serotonin, the “feel-good” hormone. A walk in the park might cheer you up on a biochemical level."
