A recent study found that spending time in nature has numerous benefits for our mental health. Researchers discovered that people who spent at least two hours in nature each week reported higher levels of well-being and lower levels of psychological distress. This effect was consistent across different groups of people, including those with existing mental health conditions. The study also found that the positive effects of nature on mental health were independent of physical activity. This suggests that simply being in nature, whether it's walking in a park or sitting in a garden, can have a positive impact on our mental well-being.
