Outdoor Health Benefits
There are many things you can do to have a healthy life. Many people
know that eating healthy food and exercising are two of them.
Something else people can do is to spend time outdoors, in nature.
Scientists have discovered what most of us already know: being outside
has positive effects on human health.
Being outdoors exposes us to sunlight – which aids our production
of vitamin D, which helps many parts of the body work properly such as

7. the brain, heart, skin. Vitamin D also helps the body maintain good bone health. But don't spend too
much time in the sun as it can burn you.
Spending time outdoors can also help reduce the chance of being overweight. People tend
to be inactive inside. Additionally they are more inclined to eat a snack. These two factors can lead
to weight gain. But when people are outdoors they do things: they are active. This activity can help
control weight.
Another benefit of being outside is the positive effect it can have on personal relationships. When
people are outside they tend to do things with people. This can lead to an improved social life, which
has been shown to make people happier.
One of the biggest benefits of spending time outdoors is stress reduction. When people spend time
in nature, such as at a park, they experience more positive feelings and fewer negative ones. This
leads to a decrease in stress, which can lead to better health because stress lowers your body's
ability to fight off sickness.
Many people spend long hours at work where they spend most of the day inside. After such a day,
spending some time outside will have a calming effect, which can reduce stress. Being out side can
also help give you energy if you feel tired. The fresh air can also help increase the amount of
oxygen on your body.
So next time you're feeling a little down, head outside. Chances are you'll feel better for it.
