Nature is Good for you!! Duh!

As if you needed another excuse to get outside and enjoy all that nature has to offer, now scientists are proving the health benefits. The researchers in this study determined that being in a natural setting had positive effects on well being and vitality. Add in some movement and play and you've got a cocktail for happiness. Don't forget about the vitamin D you'll be getting from the sun while you're at it! Health benefits abound us all. Could this somehow be related to our genetic makeup from ancestors living, hunting, and foraging for all their lives? Well the jury is still out on that one, but it would make sense from an evolutionary stand point. Either way I suggest you get out and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
