Being out in Nature has any benefits, be it a walk, or gardening, or just sitting near a tree. In olden days, children spent more time out in Nature, and even adults were more connected to Nature. With the rise of urbanization, trees reduced in number and buildings increased. These days most cities are filled with smoke and pollution. People are living a life cut off from Nature, but this isn't how it was meant to be.
Nature and human beings as well as animals were supposed to live in harmony. The rate at which we have gone astray from this original plan of the universe is shocking. May be it is time to get back in tune with Nature.
Some of the scientifically proven benefits of being close to Nature are:
1. Nature helps us calm down and relieves stress
2. Nature is said to positively affect our health
3. Nature makes us happier people
4. We become more productive at work
5. We are more balanced as people
There are so many more benefits of spending time in Nature. Many people are realizing the importance of re-building their connection to Nature. Some people are switching to Organic products, many people are creating start ups related to Nature, like Yoga Retreats, Homestays, Gardening, etc.. Slowly, we are able to see some change in the world.
I think we should all try to re-built lives in such a way that Nature is also a part of it. Activities like Nature walks, hikes, gardening, etc. are some great ways to start.
