Nature is Good For You - the evidence

From Sonairte

A recent study by scientists at the University of Michigan has demonstrated that interaction with nature really is good for your physical and psychological health. The article, published in the January Issue of Psychological Science showed that going for a walk, whatever the weather, has an effect on mind and body that is similar to that of meditation. Even looking at pictures of the countryside is good for you.
