Spend more time outdoorsMETRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

People who live in regions where winters are cold often note the feeling of rejuvenation they enjoy on the first warm day of late-winter or spring. The chance to get outside and soak up some sun while breath-ing some warm air is a feeling unlike any other for those who spend much of their winters bundled up in layers of clothing.

The value of spending time outdoors extends well beyond dusting off winter cabin fever, providing long-term benefits that might surprise even the most ardent outdoor enthusi-ast. A 2018 report from researchers at the Uni-versity of East Anglia found that living close to nature and spending time outside has wide-ranging health benefits, including a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes, car-diovascular disease, premature death, pre-term birth, stress, and high blood pressure. Au-thors of the report stud-ied data from across the globe, gathering evi-dence from more than 140 studies involving more than 290 million people.

Researchers cannot pinpoint exactly why people who spend ample time in greenspaces en-joy better health. Howev-er, the benefits appear to be so wide-ranging as to suggest that people who currently do not spend much time in greens-

paces should make a concerted effort to do so. The following are a couple of ways busy indi-viduals can start spend-ing more time outdoors.

· Dine al fresco. On nights when the weath-er is fair, take dinner into the great outdoors.

· Get off the couch. Don’t hesitate to get outside when night falls. Spend time in the backyard or go for nightly walks around the neighborhood or in a nearby park. Say so long to television binging ses-sions, making healthier and more beneficial use of nightly free time by utilizing nearby greens-paces.

· Go hiking on week-ends. Even city dwell-ers no doubt live within driving distance of local hiking areas. Hiking provides a host of car-diovascular benefits and can make for a great, full-body workout. Re-searchers associated with the UEA report sug-gested that the practice of forest bathing, which is popular in Japan and promotes spending time sitting down or lying in nature, exposes people to a diverse array of bac-teria present in natural areas that may benefit the immune system and reduce inflammation.

People who think that accessing nature is helping them to stay healthy aren’t wrong. In fact, making time to include nature in your daily or weekly routine can have positive and wide-ranging effects on your overall health.
