How even just 15 minutes in nature can boost your wellbeing

I'm a huge believer in getting outside. “Nature Therapy” is what I call it, and just being out in nature helps to take away the stress of life, relaxes the body, and simply acts as a reset button for me. 

And it seems that science agrees. Research  has proved that spending time outside, particularly in nature, is important because it can help regulate stress, boost mental health, and improve immune function.

But the good news is you don’t need to spend hours outdoors each day to see benefits. Even just 15 minutes a day in nature is enough to boost your mood, concentration and physical health.

Click the link to learn of some specific benefits, but it all boils down to this… Get outside! It's good for you to be in nature. 

The average UK person spends just 7% of their time (or 86 minutes) outdoors during the work week. This is shocking to hear – but with our busy schedules, it’s no wonder many of us can only find a few minutes each day to get outside.
