Live within nature.

Nature is essential to our lives – from the food on our plates to the clothes we wear, from medicines to mental health benefits.

Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones.

It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists such as public health researchers Stamatakis and Mitchell.
