Nature and Mental Health
Spending time in nature has a significant positive impact on mental health, as demonstrated by a study published in Environmental Science & Technology.
The research found that time spent in natural environments notably lowers stress levels, alleviates anxiety, and enhances mood.
Compared to urban settings, nature-focused activities reduce cortisol, the hormone associated with stress, making nature an ideal environment for mental rejuvenation.
