NATURE as MEDICINE for DEPRESSION

Today I discovered a study that shows that walking in nature is actually good for our mental health. As if we didn't know this already. But it does reduce our risk of depression. The study looked at people who walked in nature for up to 90 minutes per day, compared to those who walk in urban areas. What they found was people who walked in nature had a decreased level of activity in the area of the brain associated with depression. So the results show that access to nature is a really important aspect of protecting our mental health and increasing our well-being. Of course this research is part of a growing movement throughout the world of people who want to make cities more livable, more sustainable, with more nature. Places where people can thrive and grow as individuals, as communities, not just places that are packed with people. Already we know that half the world's population live in cities and urban areas and this is predicted to grow over the next number of decades, so it's really important for planners and policymakers to understand that the vital role that nature can play in our mental health and well-being, so to design cities that are more livable in. Valencia, in Spain, and it's a beautiful city. It has one of the nicest parks in all of Europe and in the 1950s it was originally a riverbed that flooded. And the city planners were going to turn the riverbed into a motorway through the city to make it easier for traffic to pass through the city. But the local people objected and they fought to turn this once riverbed into one of the most beautiful and accessible city parks in Europe, if not in the world. If you're experiencing depression or low mood, get out into nature, get into your local park, it might be a small little park. Get out to a river, go up the mountains. At least once a week do something special in nature. Nature is nurturing, it's healing, it connects us with ourselves and de-stresses us. It's so good for us so, I hope that you found this video interesting today, share with your friends. If anyone is depressed, nature is a great healer, a natural healer, oxygen, the nurturance of plants, and animals, and rivers, and the sea and the ocean. All of these things are really, really good for us. City dwellers have a 20% higher risk of developing anxiety disorders and a 40% higher risk of mood disorders.
