Why is Nature so great for stress
Natural environments have a calming effect on body and mind. Research has shown that exposure to natural environments, such as forests or parks, can have a positive effect on reducing stress and anxiety. Natural environments have been found to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, lower blood pressure and slow down heart rate.
- Nature provides opportunities for physical activity: Exercise is known to be a great stress reducer. Being in nature provides opportunities for physical activities such as hiking, walking, and swimming, which can help to reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing.
- Nature provides a break from technology and everyday life: Being in nature provides an opportunity to disconnect from technology and the fast-paced demands of everyday life. This break can help to reduce stress and provide a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
- Exposure to nature can improve mood: Exposure to nature has been shown to increase positive emotions and reduce negative emotions. This can lead to an overall improvement in mood and wellbeing.
Nature provides a variety of benefits that can help to reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing. Whether it's through exposure to natural environments, physical activity or a break from technology and everyday life, nature can provide a much-needed respite from the stressors of daily life.
