There are many positive mental and physical benefits when you get out in nature (ecotherapy). These include better mood, improved sleep, reduction in depression and anxiety, reduction in ADHD symptoms. People who exercise outside also have a lower risk of obesity, cancer, type II diabetes, and osteoporosis. More and more positive research continues to come out. The current recommendations for exercise are 60 minutes per day. Try to exercise in nature at least half of that, make it a habit year round.
