Outdoor adventures yield secrets to happiness and vitality
Mental Health and Outdoor Adventures
The mental health benefits of spending time outdoors are equally compelling. Nature-based activities have been linked to lower levels of anxiety and depression. A study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found that individuals who spent time in natural settings reported higher levels of vitality and lower levels of mental fatigue3. The calming effect of nature, combined with the physical exertion of outdoor activities, creates a powerful antidote to the stresses of modern life.
