"Just five minutes
of exercise in a "green space" such as a park can
boost mental health, researchers claim. There is
growing evidence that combining activities such as walking
or cycling with nature boosts well-being. In the latest analysis,
UK researchers looked at evidence from 1,250 people in 10
studies and found fast improvements in mood and self-esteem."

"'Forest therapy' taking
root For stressed-out workers,
this may someday be a doctor's prescription: Walk around
in the woods.
Scientists in Japan have been learning
a lot in recent years about the relaxing effects of forests
and trees on mental and physical health. Based on their findings,
some local governments are promoting "forest therapy."
Experience shows that the scents of
trees, the sounds of brooks and the feel of sunshine through
forest leaves can have a calming effect, and the conventional
wisdom is right, said Yoshifumi Miyazaki, director of the
Center for Environment Health and Field Sciences at Chiba
University.
"Humans had lived in nature for
5 million years. We were made to fit a natural environment.
So we feel stress in an urban area," Miyazaki said. "When
we are exposed to nature, our bodies go back to how they should
be."
Taking a walk in a forest, or "forest
bathing" as it is sometimes called, can strengthen the
immune system, according to Li Qing, a senior assistant professor
of forest medicine at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo."

"Country walks can
help reduce depression and raise self-esteem according
to research published today, leading to calls for "ecotherapy"
to become a recognised treatment for people with mental health
problems. Ecotherapy: the green agenda
for mental health is the first study looking at how "green"
exercise specifically affects those suffering from depression.
According to Mind, England and Wales's
leading mental health charity, it produced "startling"
results proving the need for ecotherapy to be considered a
proper treatment option."
