The importance of spending time in nature. In todays busy world sometimes we forget to take some time to appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us. Working all week indoors can take its toll on the body. Stress can be very harmful to the mind and body as well. It is very important to disconnect from all your daily chores and duties and spend some time alone with good old mother nature. Research has shown that walking barefoot for as little as 10 minutes can seriously reduce stress levels. If you spend long hours indoors whether at school, work, home or the gym, you are often breathing in stale air, recycled thru dirty filters. Go outside, breath in the fresh air, and allow your body to recharge. Their is numerous benefits of exercising outdoors, including decreased anxiety, reduced stress, and increased energy levels.


 We have become a society who is so connected to computers and television that most people spend their downtime glued to the tube. If you are always starring at a screen your not giving you mind a chance to rest. Go sit in the sun, watch the trees sway in the wind, and  just breath. Leave all your problems and worries inside and unplug for a little bit.You will be amazed how much more relaxed and focused you feel. So turn off Netflix, leave your cell phone at home, and go spend some time outside. Your body will thank you. Being healthy isn't about looking a certain way, its about feeling good and treating your body how it deserves to be treated. Have a healthy and happy Friday!
