Prescription: Nature

How much time in nature do humans need? One of the speakers in this podcast episode recommends, "Get hot, get cold, get outside." Another recommends 120 minutes in a natural environment for at least 20 minutes each time. What about our children? Speakers include Jared Hanley, founder of NatureQuant; Katie Lynch, co-director and instructor, University of Oregon's Environmental Leadership Program; and Christopher Minson, director of the UO's Human Cardiovascular Control Lab and co-director of the Exercise and Environmental Physiology Labs.
