An article in the Wall Street Journal today, Aug. 30, talks about the benefits of spending time outside in nature. The author of the article, Shirley S Wang, suggests “Taking in the sights and sounds of nature appears to be especially beneficial for our minds.” Research indicates how our memory and attention improves by as much as 20% after a walk in an arboretum. People who walk along a busy street show no cognitive improvement. So, plan on walking in the garden, an arboretum or other nature-filled setting. You will benefit from the experience.
