spend time in<br />
nature<br />
It seems 120 minutes a week in<br />
nature is associated with benefits to<br />
our health and wellbeing, according<br />
to new research.<br />
The authors of this new study,<br />
published in Scientific Reports in 2019,<br />
said theirs is the first large-scale research<br />
to quantify how much time is needed to<br />
feel the effects. The study used survey<br />
data from more than 19,000 participants<br />
in the United Kingdom, who were<br />
quizzed about their contact with nature.<br />
‘This applies to old and young, males<br />
and females and the rich and the poor,’<br />
said lead researcher Dr White from the<br />
University of Exeter.<br />
Nature, as defined by the study, did<br />
not have to be pristine wilderness or<br />
spectacular national parks - beaches, city<br />
parks or farmland were all included as<br />
natural environments.<br />
So going for a surf or cycle might be<br />
a great way to pair outdoor time with<br />
getting active, but physical activity<br />
wasn’t necessary to feel the benefits of<br />
being in nature – just being out there<br />
was enough.<br />
Improving your mental health is a<br />
rewarding experience and changes can<br />
be made at any time. They help you<br />
handle life’s challenges and recover<br />
from setbacks, boosting your mood and<br />
building your resilience.<br />
It’s important to remember that<br />
seeking help is a sign of strength, not a<br />
weakness. Receiving appropriate care<br />
from a professional can help encourage<br />
us to do things we may not be able to do<br />
on our own. cbm<br />
