The remedy for everyday stress is just around the corner. 2 hours per week surrounded by nature are enough to stay healthy. It is evidenced by scientific research of the University of Exeter, in England.<\/h2>\n

The results of this important research<\/strong>, financed from British public health, were published in the magazine Scientific Reports<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cEverybody knows that living in a natural environment is good for health and wellness, but until now we didn\u2019t know how much time was necessary\u201d<\/em>. Mathew White<\/strong> is a researcher for the European Centre for Environment and Human Health<\/em> at the University of Exeter Medical School, and he sums up with these words the important result of his research. So, nature is the secret!<\/p>\n

What does it mean to be immersed in Nature?<\/h2>\n

120 minutes<\/strong> is the minimum threshold of time to dedicate to nature every week<\/strong>. But what does it mean exactly to spend time in a green environment?<\/p>\n

The study<\/strong> shows that living in a neighborhood with many parks or near natural areas, it helps in preventing and treating illnesses<\/strong>. Nevertheless, even just an escape in a city park can improve your mood. Indeed, the benefits of nature are both physical<\/strong> and mental<\/strong>. Another interesting characteristic of this study: you don\u2019t have to do physical exercise. You should just relax<\/strong> in the shade of an oak tree, seated on a bench<\/strong>. In this case, what matters is the quality of time!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy<\/strong>: relax and have fun in city parks, natural parks, rivers, hills or beaches<\/strong> and you\u2019ll find a new psychophysical harmony<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How should you assume the \u201cmedicine\u201d called Nature?<\/h2>\n

The research shows that natural visits<\/strong> could be either extended for 2 hr or \u201cadministrated\u201d in small doses during all 7 days of the week.
\nSo, it is truly a blessing<\/strong>!
\nThe advantages<\/strong> of this scientific study highlight that there are no improvements if the time of exposure to nature<\/strong> is longer, for example, 200-300 minutes. So, only if you do not reach 2 hours weekly immersed in nature, you will have the opposite effect.<\/p>\n

Everyone benefits from this natural \u201cmedicine\u201d<\/h2>\n

This research of Exeter University, in collaboration with Uppsala<\/strong> University in Sweden<\/strong>, has analyzed the habits of 20.000<\/strong> British citizens. They have also investigated on their illnesses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The results are truly amazing<\/strong>! The 120 minutes method may be applied to everyone<\/strong>. From children<\/strong> to elderly people,<\/strong> to every single professional and ethnic group, in the richest areas and the poorest one. Nature benefits everybody<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this respect, Doctor White<\/strong> confirmed in an interview for the renowned British newspaper \u201cThe Guardian<\/strong><\/a>\u201d: \u201cWhat really amazed us was this was true for just about every group we could think of\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Nowadays there are new projects that underline how nature can help our brain<\/strong> to restore the well-being<\/strong> and to fight against everyday stress and urban pollution. One of them is the Monitor of Engagement with the Natural Environment Survey<\/em><\/a> of Natural England.<\/p>\n

Do you need to take a break<\/strong> and recharge your batteries<\/strong> in a green environment?<\/p>\n
