Did you know that parks and greenspace have significant public health benefits?* Health studies have shown that contact with nature offers a range of medical benefits including lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, enhanced survival after a heart attack, more rapid recovery from surgery, fewer minor medical complaints, and lower self-reported stress. In children with attention disorders and in teens with behavioral disorders, contact with nature has resulted in significant improvement.
So thankful I live in a beautiful place (Utah) where I'm surrounded by nature!
