Nature: The secret tip to keep you fit..

 

'Beautiful things don't crave for attention' 

said the world famous Irish writer, James thurber. The greatest example in front of us.

It never demands our attention and so sometimes nature gets underrated. But here, let me try to prove how helpful and beneficial nature is for maintaining a good health and how it knowingly or unknowingly plays an important role in keeping us fit and healthy

Nature is the source of all emotions, all living and non living factors of life.

We have all took birth from nature.

And therefore if we have a problem, why search for solutions elsewhere, when you have your mother nature welcoming you open hands, with the right solutions.

• Let me list down what I'm trying to convey through this write up.

1. Regarding mental health benefits, nature has a very wide definition. It can mean green spaces like parks, woodland or forests and blue spaces like rivers, wetlands, beaches or canals. It also includes trees on an urban street, private gardens, verges and even indoor plants or window boxes. Surprisingly, even watching nature documentaries is good for our mental health. This is great news as it means the mental health benefits of nature can be made available to nearly every one of us, no matter where we live. In short, nature could be the best therapist in your city.
2. Regarding physical health, in a study of 20,000 people, a team led by Mathew White of the European Centre for Environment & Human Health at the University of Exeter, found that people who spent two hours a week in green spaces — local parks or other natural environments, either all at once or spaced over several visits — were substantially more likely to report good health and psychological well-being than those who don’t. Two hours was a hard boundary: The study, showed there were no benefits for people who didn’t meet that threshold. 

Spending time in nature can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels, reduce nervous system arousal, enhance immune system function, increase self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and improve mood. So nature is possibly the best doctor in your locality!

• Talking about diseases, here too we have nature at rescue.

Treatment using earth, air, sunlight, water and a regulated, primarily raw vegetarian diet to treat a spectrum of medical conditions could be the best solution with out any side effects. It is now often referred to as Naturopathy, a designation which reflects early 20th century professionalization. 

Widely known as Prakrtic Chikitsa in India, naturopathy could be solutions to high health risk diseases like heart attacks and even cancers.

Naturopathy focuses on Trusted Source:

The body’s capacity to heal itself.

Preventing health problems.

A personal responsibility to optimize health.

Naturopathic treatment plans focus on education and prevention. They often emphasize diet, exercise, and stress management.

Nature itself provides us with the solutions to all our problems. It contributes to mental fitness which further enhances our physical health.

We all originated from nature, and in the end we go back to nature. So why don't we respect our mother nature and run to her for solutions.

Let's build a strong world, a healthy world, and get inspired from our forefathers, who always lived close to nature.
