7 Reasons Why Getting Out

Into Nature Is Incredibly Good

For You!

The negative ions generated by waterfalls, waves crashing on the beach, and river rapids have lots of positive effects on the body (ironically!)

Getting outside sans constant texting, scrolling, tapping, and instantly responding to every ping, chime, bell or ringtone that bursts from your phone is a detoxifying experience. Silence, fresh air, playful activity and getting your blood coursing through your veins are all great for your mind and body.

Being alone with yourself and nature gives you a chance to refresh, re-energise, and rejuvenate for free!

You don’t need to put on special gym gear, buy any equipment, or be a member to take advantage of what the Great Outdoors has to offer.

Interacting with nature gives your brain a break from all the stimulation and overload of information it’s exposed to every day.

It can improve your mental health. One study by the researchers at Glasgow University showed that people who got out into nature and walked, ran, or biked had a lower risk of poor mental health than people who exercised indoors.

It can strengthen your immune system. Researchers found that women who spent six hours in the woods over the course of two days had an increase in virus and tumor-fighting white blood cells. Plus, the boost lasted for at least seven days afterwards!
