Nature exposure and health: what the research says about time outdoors

from The Wellness Rhythm Show

Emma and David break down what neuroscience actually says about time in nature—from phytoncides and immune function to attention restoration and stress reduction—and make the case that you need just 120 minutes per week, broken into manageable chunks, to see measurable benefits. They tackle the structural realities (urban living, demanding schedules, caregiving responsibilities) and walk through what the research says about parks, window views, and intentional versus distracted outdoor time. By the end, you'll understand why getting outside isn't a luxury—it's basic infrastructure for your brain and body.Follow The Wellness Rhythm Show:  ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessRhythmShow  📖 Newsletter: https://thewellnessrhythmshow.substack.com  Powered by VoxCrea.AI
