Happy Earth Day! Don't forget to go outside this weekend to feel better after a demanding week. Time spent outdoors has been shown to boost happiness and reduce stress – so much so that the National Park Service recently "prescribed" going to a park to enjoy the healing power of nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors in a natural setting is linked with good health and mental well-being, one study found. It didn't matter how those 120 minutes were achieved — whether over regular short walks in a local park or one long hike on the weekend — just as long as people met that weekly threshold. Tap the link to discover why living in a home close to an urban green space is good for the soul. |
