So it is that civilization has its drawbacks. Since man began to use fire, it was burning through her. But some of the dangers associated with the technology, many of which have been discussed in my previous posts, are relatively recent developments. Perhaps the most recent of them, other than video game addiction is all the health risks that come from spending time indoors or in urban areas.
There is a growing body of research showing that spending time in natural environments, or even just search in natural scenes , has incredible healing properties. Here are some of the health benefits that have been documented by clinical research:
- reduces the sense of depression, fear, anxiety and stress
- Increase sense of well-being
- Improves cardiovascular health
- Improves the health of the musculoskeletal system
- Reduces the tendency to focus on negative thoughts or emotions
- Increases attention
- Decreased aggression
which is very encouraging about this is that these positive effects were independent of physical activity. Just being in a natural environment produces these effects. Some of these benefits were even observed in the case were introduced in home or hospital room of a plant person!
This is a phenomenon easy to take advantage of what it requires just give me a list of suggestions to do so. How many times have we eat inside on a perfectly warm evening, still and sunny? How often do we spend break time at work inside locked? Do we spend hours and hours usually sitting in front of TV? We spend a large amount of money to build huge houses and buying huge entertainment systems to make it as easy as possible to spend all our time inside. Yet we already live a gigantic sensation called Earth, full of wonders beyond imagination. We take for granted the wonder of art and engineering in the form of plants and animals that most of us have barely begun to learn.
Sometimes if you want to be healthy, all you have to do is stop trying so hard not to be. What changes can you make in your life from day to day to spend less time inside and more time outdoors?
