Being in nature may be one of the best ways to boost your mental health. And being around water has particular benefits, research shows. But you don't need to be physically there to feel better.

You can also get some of the benefits from just listening to or watching videos of water. "You only need maybe up to two hours a week," said Dr. Natalie Azar, NBC News medical contributor. "So a couple of minutes every day of that exposure can make a real difference." Tap the link to find out why being near water is such a boost for mental health. |
