AMAZING EFFECTS OF NATURE ON THE BODY

Research reveals the human body is sensitive to the environment. What you see and hear can affect your mood along with your nervous, endocrine and immune system. When you are in an unpleasant environment, you feel stressed, which causes a range of adverse health consequences. Conversely, exposure to the beauty and peace of nature fosters bodily responses that are the opposite of these unhealthful effects. Every aspect of wellness can be enhanced through frequent encounters with nature.
