16.01.2022 We all know how great we feel when we spend time outside amongst nature. Our bodies relax, our minds become quieter and we reconnect with our beautiful natural world. We also know the benefits of Vitamin D from the sun, healthy bacteria in the dirt and fresh clean air. Physically we burn up more energy outside counteracting obesity, diabetes and heart disease. We also come together with our animals and plants remembering what it means to be connected. And we all know feeling connected helps diminish depression and anxiety.
