23. Go back to nature
Researchers at Essex University say that engaging with nature offers both mental and physical health benefits. Whether through an active pursuit, such as walking or gardening, or a passive one, like admiring the view, being close to nature has been shown to reduce stress and ease muscular tension. Experts believe that the higher levels of negative ions near areas with running water, trees and mountains may play a part. Others claim it’s down to ‘biophilia’: the theory that we have an innate affinity with nature and that our ‘disconnection’ from it is the cause of stress and mental health problems. Studies in the Netherlands and Japan suggest that people living in or near ‘green’ areas enjoy a longer and healthier life than those living in urban environments.
