What experts are saying…
Time spent “forest bathing” — immersed in the forest atmosphere — is especially good for your immune system. The forest air you breathe in is full of phytoncides, chemicals shed by forest plants. Phytoncides’ antifungal and antibacterial qualities stimulate your body to increase the white blood cells responsible for fighting tumor- and virus-infected cells.
Time spent in nature can boost physical and mental well-being
Nature can help us improve our thinking, reasoning, and other mental abilities
Access to nature, whether it is in the form of bona fide natural areas or in bits or views of nature, impacts psychological, as well as social functioning. Greater access to green views and green environments yields better cognitive functioning; more proactive, more effective patterns of life functioning; more self-discipline and more impulse control; greater mental health overall; and greater resilience in response to stressful life events.
