Being outside in nature has positive effects on our mood and outlook. Listening to the birds, watching a sunset, feeling the breeze on our skin can help reduce stress and lower blood pressure. It also helps us stay connected to the world around us.
It is good for our health and overall well-being by spending time outdoors in nature. One of the many examples, includes sunlight. Spending time outside naturally provides Vitamin D which help strengthen our bones and other health benefits.
One of the many ways that we understand how we are connected to nature involves our circadian rhythms. These are the natural wake and sleep cycles of the body. Sunlight is a good way to ‘reset’ our circadian rhythms.
Water is the number one that people request in their garden. Including this feature creates interest and encourages people to spend more time in the garden.
Gardens are an essential component of any residence. These outdoor rooms can help individuals with dementia stay connected to the world around them.
