When we’re out and about, nature can affect us in many ways – some of which you may not expect. Stress relief, lowering blood pressure and improved mood are just three examples of how getting outside can help to make you feel better.

Our body clock is an internal schedule which reminds us when we need to eat and when to sleep – with the latter being caused by the level of melatonin which makes us drowsy. Sleep schedules are often crucial to a person’s mood and stress levels, so making sure that you have a consistent one can help you to feel much better. Given time, our body clocks will reset when given enough exposure to natural light, which will help us to feel tired before bed and more refreshed when you awake.

Not only light, but smells have also been proven to aid us in various ways too. Stress reduction appears to be one of the primary beneficiaries with scents such as lavender, cut grass and roses all aiding this reduction according to multiple studies. This is the same for trees, where it has been researched that being among trees, or simply looking at them reduces blood pressure and hence, your stress levels.

Exercising can help us to feel motivated, due to the increased amount of endorphins produced during that time. This again can help us to feel less stressed – and can help to keep us fit and healthy too!

If you’re ever feeling stressed or down, get your walking shoes and venture outdoors - and let the visuals, smells and surroundings improve your mood and leave you feeling much better!
