Embrace Nature: Unveiling the Benefits of Spending Time Outside

In today's fast-paced world, finding moments to connect with nature is more important than ever. Stepping outside and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the natural world can have a profound impact on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In this article, we delve into the remarkable benefits of spending time outside, exploring how it can rejuvenate our senses, improve our health, and foster a deep sense of connection with the world around us.

Facts about the Benefits of Spending Time Outside:

Boosted Mood and Mental Health:

Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression.

Outdoor activities like walking, hiking, or gardening can improve cardiovascular health, increase energy levels, and strengthen the immune system.

Exposure to natural sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and supports a healthy immune system.

Boost Emotional Health

Flowers are a natural mood-booster and can help you keep connecting while practicing social distancing. In a ten-month behavioral study by Rutgers, it was found that flowers have an “immediate impact on happiness,” regardless of age group, and that flowers have long-term positive effects on mood. Participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious, and agitated after receiving flowers, and a greater sense of life satisfaction. That’s some powerful stuff.

#Repost @montysglow (@get_repost) ・・・ Ekyogero is a popular cultural bath in many communities in Uganda for newborn babies consisting of various herbs. The use of ekyogero is widespread in Uganda, but it is more common among tribes from central, western and south-western Uganda. 🌿 : Rose Namuli, an elderly Muganda woman, says according to the Kiganda culture, the herbal bath is a must for a newborn baby. Traditionally, the baby's grandmother gathered particular herbs like olweza, ebombo, omwolola and omwetango. In addition, she had the responsibility of teaching her daughter-in-law how to boil the herbs and bathe the baby, she explains. 🌿 : According to Namuli, not only is the herbal bath used to cleanse and give the baby a smooth skin, it is also believed to bring good luck to the baby and ward off curses. She adds that ekyogero prevents skin rash (enoga). Norah Ahabwe, an elderly woman from Mbarara, says when a newborn baby is bathed in ekyogero, she gets good luck and is given some to drink to protect it against diseases like malaria. She says the herbal concoction also boosts appetite and cleans the digestive system. 🌿 : Jolly Byenkya, the minister of culture in Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom, says about 10 herbs are gathered and boiled to make ekyogero. She says the baby is bathed in the herbs from the first day of birth up to three months. Byenkya adds that the herbal bath is intended to prevent bad luck and diseases. 🖤 🌿 _______________________________________ #montysglow #ingatillsatser #roots#culture#uganda#HerbHeals #herbalbath #herbalife #africanheritage #africanherbs #muhenga #eastafrican #eastafricanculture #ugandablogging #ugandaculture #ancientworld #ancient #ancientbeauty #ancientknowledge #ancientafrica #ancientafricanspirituality #ancientafricanwisdom ##Healers#goddesses#forestpower#naturebeauty#naturebenefits#guru

I came across, through the academicminute webpage (here is the link: https://academicminute.org/author/academicminute/, which I highly recommend to follow) this interesting article (and related podcast if you are too lazy to read it) about green spaces benefits' topic.  Dr. Kirsten Beyer points out that being in outdoor is not just a refreshing experience but there are lots of positive consequences. Of course, one of the Dr. Kirste's reference is the Attention Restoration Theory (Kaplan,1995). In fact, focusing our attention on nature can relax us. She mentions the role of natural environments as the perfect location for social interactions, cohesion, and support. Those elements themselves can help to decrease our stress'levels. The academicminute article states that our world is mostly urban. The consequences are a fear of losing a connection with the outdoor and its benefits.  This made me ponder a lot: is it just a matter of availability to get in touch with nature, or are there other deterrent factors (education, past experiences, motivation)? A while ago, I had a bike ride with a friend. We were cycling across the countryside. She said that there was not such a thing where next to her hometown.   I was naively surprised. Have such access to nature is something expected for me because I can easily access it. I can't say the same for anyone else on earth.
