Are you feeling stressed and you don’t know what to do? Try the forest therapy. Spending 2 hours per week among trees can bring many beneficial effects.<\/h2>\n

In recent years, technological progress has changed everyone’s life. We live everyday with a frenetic rhythm, we’re used to urban environments and are always immersed in a smartphone or a computer. In short, we got away fron nature<\/strong> forgetting how it can make us feel better.<\/p>\n

Nature offers many simple pleasures: the perfume of plants, the light of the sun, clean air. Additionally, all these elements increase man’s well-being<\/strong> and reduce stress<\/strong><\/a>. The awareness of these factors could develop an ecological mindset, aimed at sustainability\u00a0<\/strong>and leading to the protection of nature.<\/p>\n

Moreover, this lack of nature can increase the risk of some diseases, like cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and it can cause anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses.<\/p>\n

Potential benefits<\/h2>\n

Forest therapy<\/strong> could be the solution. We just need to spend 2 hours per week among trees<\/strong><\/a> to get real benefits<\/strong>. For example, we could get an\u00a0improvement of the immune system, stress reduction, physical and mental well-being<\/strong>. In fact, in 2020, UN has declared that being in contact with nature is considered to be a real preventive medicine. The value of this practice has also been reflected in scientific research.<\/p>\n

To encourage forest therapy, an agreement has been signed in Italy to support the enhancement of forests<\/strong>, promoting their functions for the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Nature acts on all the 5 senses: through the sounds of the forest, the contact with wood and the smell of the plants. All of this brings to a psychophysical relaxation<\/strong>. While being immersed among the trees you can practice light activities<\/strong>, like meditation, to focus on nature and breath.<\/p>\n
