Bring Nature Walks To City Home

John Muir, one of America’s most influential conservationists, once wrote that “going to the woods is going home. If you’ve ever emerged from a hike or camping trip with a clearer mind, you know exactly what Muir means. Nature has a way of providing comfort when you need it the most. It resets your thoughts, lifts your spirits and puts you at peace – just like a visit home would. For many folks living in a big city, nature is a luxury. I personally love walking around in the city and was able to shed a few pounds ever since I got rid of my car. However, Stanford University recently released the results of a study indicating that not all “walks” are created equal. People that walked for 90 minutes in a wild,, natural area as oppose to to busy city areas, showed significantly decreased activity in the rumination region of the brain, which regulates obsessive, negative thoughts and emotions. Ongoing rumination is a critical factor in depression. Nature vs. city walks were found to be significantly more mentally restorative. Read more detailed results of the study HERE.
