I just read this article and it confirms what I’ve believed for myself for many years. There’s nothing like experiencing lush, living nature to reset one’s balance. Our sun room where we spend most of our day is a 16’ wall of windows looking out onto green trees and shrubs, birds, squirrels, deer, and chipmunks. I also found when I was feeling particularly stressed that nothing seemed to help more than a 15-20 minute stroll out among the trees.

Nature bathing is important for everyone.

They did all sorts of studies on this.
More trees per street = less illness, etc.

Happy to hear that the study proponents/authors are now better informed. You have to wonder how much funding was wasted reiterating something so widely understood. Hope the money wasn't public.

I don't have nature near me to walk in and I don't walk good in recent years but I keep two very green plants in my small apt..one 10' fig tree in my living room and that's my nature indoors. Alive and green.

You're right; it always makes me feel better after a day of cutting down all the dead and dying trees along side my house! It's great exercise; it's aerobic, it's upper body strength, it's great for my abs (they need a good workout), and it burns calories. Plus I have the excitement of listening to the tress crashing to the ground; as long as I'm not underneath them.

As much as 40% of our forest are at stake thanks to all the invasive pest we have brought to our shores in our quest for cheap overseas and exotic products: https://www.theguardian.com/environm...risis-resource. My nemesis right now is the emerald ash borer that has killed 20 of my ash trees. Of course the OP's link just stated "greenery" and did not specify trees. Of course grass, if you're using a push mower, does have some of the same healthy benefits; minus the carbon footprint from the mower.

Love this. We're designed to be out in nature, not cooped up like caged animals.
