According to this Time Magazine post, spending time outdoors, especially in green spaces, is one of the fastest ways to improve your health and happiness. Being outdoors has been proven to lower stress, blood pressure and heart rate, while boosting mood and mental health. Many believe that rigorous exercise is the only way to achieve these results, but simply being in nature breathing fresh air can relax you and reduce stress. Physicians are actually writing “nature prescriptions” to patients to improve health. This helpful website, “Park RX America,” will help you identify parks within close range to make taking time for green space easier and more accessible.
