Covid pandemic has been an eye-opener in so many ways to so many people. For some, it was that financially, making everyone aware of the importance of having savings and multiple sources of income. For some, it was a lesson learning experience in physical fitness. People understood how important it was to eat healthy and stay fit as health issues that seemed very distant stood right there in everyone’s face.
But something thankfully caught everyone’s attention as well. And thankfully because if it was not for this pandemic, it would have taken a long time for everyone to see the importance of it. Yes, it’s mental health that’s being talked about here. Being locked down in homes and not being able to move freely did something that mental health researchers and activists have been trying to do for so long which is making everyone aware of how scary a health issue is bad mental health.
A taboo subject once in many circles, mental health is now being discussed on many public forums, and rightfully so. And this has never been more evident than now as doctors have started prescribing activities like a walk in a park instead of conventional medicine that you would expect from doctors.
Yes, that is right. Doctors around the world have been prescribing getting out in the great outdoors and interacting with natural elements as a solution to some of the serious health issues as well like diabetes, hypertension and lungs and breathing-related diseases. Exploring nature firsthand has been proven by researchers to have improved sleeping cycles, increase feelings of joy and happiness and cut stress to extremely low levels. Not just that, activities like hiking, trekking, or just a walk in the park have proven to help boost creativity and ability to provide continuous attention to important tasks. Scientists have proven that the value of such outdoorsy activities goes just beyond the psychological impacts. Interacting with natural elements have been proven to increase our immunity and general fitness against general health problems related to lungs, gut, and overall body.
