Multiple studies have shown that exposure to nature can reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone), lower blood pressure, and improve mood and cognitive function. Including these nature therapy practices into your vacation not only lends relaxation but also helps you prioritise mental health.
In a fast-paced world like ours, people throw around words like “I’m stressed” as a mere everyday greeting. But, long-term stress can take a toll on both your mental and physical well-being. That is why it is important to know about serious symptoms of stress and how to combat them.
