In the stress-filled, the life of today people go to Spa’s, take costly massages and what not to relieve stress but they don’t know that relieving stress is a matter of 20 Minutes in a Park. Yes, it’s true. In this article, we are going to tell you why you should spend at least 20 Minutes in a Park daily.
A new study suggests that taking just 20 minutes out of your day and going to a park with lots of greenery can lower your stress hormone levels to an extent.
Healthcare practitioners can use this finding to prescribe ‘nature pills’ to have a real measurable effect, according to researchers from the University of Michigan.
“We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it was unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us,” said lead author MaryCarol Hunter from the varsity.
For the study, 36 people were asked to take “The Nature Pill” which is going to a park for 20 minutes every day. After an eight week period, it was found out that stress levels reduced to a massive extent in the people. Thus, only 20 Minutes in a Park are more than enough for your increasing levels of stress.
It has also been found out that children who live in greener environments are more resilient and better able to cope with a stressful life and other sad events. Several diseases are less prevalent in greener environments like Depression, asthma, stroke, and migraines.
Not just this, it has also been proved that people who spend a certain amount of time in a green environment have really good eyesight. So, just take 20 minutes out of your day and make it a habit to go to a park and then see the change that it brings to your life.
