There is more to being healthy than getting physical exercise.  Exposure to natural can heal and improve your mind and spirit.

Over the past decades, there have been rapid changes in our society towards industry and urbanization, and our world is becoming increasingly constructed and less natural.  People live, work and play in environments entirely separate and distinct from parks, gardens and green spaces.

Current research has begun to show that an existence cut off from the natural environment can produce exhaustion, reduce concentration, compound stress and depression, and ultimately, negatively affect our quality of life.  This is environment psychology, and it’s the study of how humans are affected by their environment.  Thousands of years of adaptation to a natural world are being undone by a movement towards concrete, steel and glass.  As a consequence of this disconnection, overall health begins to suffer.
