Feel Richer, Healthier, and Younger
Nature provides numerous advantages for our health. A recent study found that simply having more trees on your street can make you feel $10,000/year richer, or 7 years younger. The same study also found that those with increased exposure to trees reported fewer major health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Sharpen Your Mental Performance
Exposure to photographs and films of nature—even in short doses—sharpens our recall. It can also give us the vigor to keep going when we might otherwise quit.

In addition to the sharpening effect, images of nature have been shown to improve people's emotions. When researchers showed photographs of a forested area and urban environments to participants, they found the forest slides to be an effective mood-booster. Conversely, nature deprivation has been linked to large-scale public health problems such as obesity, depression, and nearsightedness. The restorative effects of nature can help improve our mental and physical health.

An overwhelming body of evidence shows that nature exposure lowers our stress levels. This in turn leads to all the health benefits above (and more)! Indeed, when scientists measure our response to nature—everything from stress hormones to heart rate to brain waves to protein markers—the findings are the same: nature is a powerful ally in our pursuit of wellness.
