This is why city parks are so important.

Nature is the greatest, free therapy😊

it does sound paradoxical that, to go inside, one has to go outside...

This material is exceptional. A book on a similar subject was a turning point for me. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

I love hiking. I'm expecting to do more of it the more I read about current events.

Excellent idea so let;'s remember to get back to nature regularly for our our health

Unfortunately with increased urbanisation and spending too much time indoors comes increased depression
Humanity needs to take care of its mental health 👍
Spending time each day in nature
10-20 mins helps keep me centred

1:49  "how we can integrate nature back into our cities" ... ummm i think they are called ... parks.   =)

[pelicancovebeach]

Why do we think we can quantify nature? How many teaspoons of sunlight do we need? Tablespoons of trees? Weird and silly.

I love nature! The Jungle! Oh I just love gorillas they make me smile & laugh alot! J Danny! Crossing the desert on foot with green jute! Haha! Like making quinine out of the bark of the Cinchona tree! I have seeds! Can get stuff like that off Amazon Shopping! I was wearing Andy Fishers boots! Goofy dog!

No matter what I could say that getting out of a city and walking for a half our 3 times a week in a natural area away from traffic can only be beneficial to anyone capable of talking for half an hour at a time with no risk of health related issues.

Being close to nature slow down the progression of stress and anxiety issues, as well as other issues which appears to slow us down as well with planet ayurveda’s herbal supplements and diet plans which needed to be followed strictly.
