Nature Is The Best Medicine: How A Walk In Nature Can Improve Your Health.

Getting out into nature and taking a walk is one of the most rewarding ways to improve your health. In addition to providing a number of physical benefits, walking in nature has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, improve heart health, and even support better cognitive functions. What’s even better is - it doesn’t cost you anything!

The Benefits Of Being Outdoors

Studies have shown that being outdoors can improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and even help us sleep better. One study found that individuals who walked in a forest setting reported lower levels of anxiety than those who walked in an urban area. Other studies have shown that being outdoors can reduce stress, fatigue, and even blood pressure—all of which are essential for maintaining good overall health. Plus, because walking is low-impact exercise, it’s perfect for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Tips and Tricks

If you're looking for a simple way to get started on your journey towards improved health through nature walks, here are some tips: 

• Choose a location close by – It's important that your chosen route isn't too far away so that you don't end up feeling exhausted before you even start your walk! Aim for somewhere within 10 minutes drive if possible. 

• Make sure you wear comfortable clothing – It's essential that you wear clothing that won't be restrictive while exercising so check the weather forecast beforehand if necessary!

• Take breaks – There's no need to push yourself beyond your limits; it's perfectly acceptable (and encouraged!) to take regular breaks during your walk so that you can admire the scenery or sit down for a few minutes when necessary! 

• Bring water – Staying hydrated is key so make sure you bring enough water with you on your walk! 

• Enjoy yourself – Don't forget why you're doing this; focus on enjoying yourself rather than worrying about how fast or far you're going! 

• Dont forget your headphones! plug into your favourite podcast or playlist and get going!
