Why nature is so powerful for your health
The nature has a huge impact on your health. Scientific research points to the many benefits of spending time in nature. More and more studies confirm the positive effects on both physical and mental well-being.
It reduces stress
A temporary stress response is a natural defence mechanism and can increase the chances of survival. Chronic stress - without sufficient
recovery - however, leads to various health problems. Spending time in nature reduces the stress hormone cortisol and promotes a faster recovery from tension and pressure.
Personal growth
By facing and overcoming challenges in nature, self-confidence grows. For example, think of packrafting through multiple rapids. Once the journey is successfully completed, it can provide a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
My focus and mental strength increase
Without distractions from screens and noise, your thinking ability becomes sharper and more creative. Spending regular time in a green environment can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Sunlight stimulates the production of serotonin, the 'happiness hormone', and exercising outdoors can help to reduce negative thoughts.
My immune system strengthens
Being outside exposes you to bacteria and natural substances, which can strengthen your immune system. Additionally, even a little sunlight helps with the production of vitamin D.
It gives energy
The combination of physical activity, fresh air, and natural environments provides an energy boost, better fitness, and improved sleep.
