Doing This While Walking Helps You Beat Stress, Say Experts
According to a report published earlier in the year by
The Wall Street Journal, walking in nature comes with a range of added benefits. "Spending time in the woods—a practice the Japanese call 'forest bathing'—is strongly linked to lower blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones and decreased anxiety, depression and fatigue," observed the
WSJ. And given that nature is such a profound antidepressant, it would only make sense that going for a walk with your therapist—instead of speaking to them indoors or on Zoom—would result in enhanced therapeutic benefits, as well. Turns out, many experts say it does.
