Fresh Air Is Essential

[ThickLpzNiceHipz]

Don't underestimate fresh air

As a nation, most of us probably don't get enough fresh air, which may contribute to our stress levels.

Previous generations spent far more time in the open air because there were no cars, and they walked far greater distances then we do today. They also played more sport out of doors before the advent of gyms and leisure centres.

Most of us feel more tranquil in the outdoors – particularly in the countryside or at the coast. Even in the most urban setting there are usually parks.

Walking in a leafy environment seems to soothe our minds. And it is undeniably good for our bodies as trees and bushes generate oxygen and soak up carbon dioxide. So, we tend to feel healthier and more energized if we can sit or walk somewhere where there are plenty of trees.

Another factor is that, as a rule, noise levels are much lower in leafy environments than they are when we’re in the office or walking along a busy street.

The impact on our stress levels of this everyday noise should not be underestimated.

If you want to feel less stressed, try to get more fresh air by going out into the countryside at the weekend, or making use of city parks.

I WALK EVERYDAY NOT JUS FOR EXERCISE BUT TO CLEAR MY MIND AND JUS ENJOY THE WEATHER..TRUST ME IT HELPS:)
