Five health benefits of reconnecting with nature in winter season

Instead of staying indoors, go for a walk outside. Let the crisp cold air fill your lungs and heighten your senses. According to an article in Independent, it can help in boosting the nervous system.

Connect to the sounds, visuals and sensations of nature. Science says it helps in improving our overall wellbeing.

Microbes are our invisible friends. When we walk into nature, we draw microbes into our body and add to our internal ecosystem.

Birdsongs can help in reducing stress and promoting restoration. Having birds around us is always a good sign.

We should give back to nature as well. We can plant a sapling in our home garden or our community, and urge more people to do the same.
