Benefits of Spending Time Outdoors

Spending time each day outside in nature has so many amazing benefits to your health and well-being.

Here are just a few:

1. Increased feelings of calmness.

2. Increased endorphin levels and dopamine production (promotes happiness).

3. Restored capacity for concentration and attention.

4. Reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.

5. Reduced irritability.

6. Lowered blood pressure and reduced cortisol (stress hormone).

7. Reduced feelings of isolation.

Getting outside for a 15 minute walk each day should be part of your daily routine and if this is not possible then make it a priority on the weekends to spend time with family at the local park, at the beach or enjoy some of the amazing nature reserves and coastal walks we have right at our doorstep.
