Why does a walk in the woods feel so good, and what does science say about it?
When we spend time in nature (especially among trees), our bodies respond in measurable ways: heart rate slows, blood pressure drops, stress hormones decrease, and mood improves.
These changes reflect how our nervous system gently calms in natural settings, leading to better health and resilience.
Join The Friends of South Shore Health and Rollin McCraty, PhD for this informative discussion!
Dr. McCraty, Director of Research at HeartMath Institute, will further explain why even a short time in nature can make a positive difference.
