Health in Nature

Did you know that April 7th is celebrated as World Health Day?

This day is dedicated to raising awareness about global health issues and promoting the importance of health on both an individual and societal level. More and more people are recognizing the significance of a natural environment for both physical and mental well-being. Spending time in nature has numerous health benefits, and many researchers and health professionals emphasize its advantages.

Here are a few reasons why Natura Art and its surrounding nature should be your “meeting point” at least once a week:

Physical Health – Fresh air and physical activities in nature (such as walking, hiking, cycling, or swimming) improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, and enhance overall physical fitness. A great bonus is exposure to sunlight, which helps your body absorb vitamin D.

Mental Health – Nature has a calming effect on our psyche. Research shows that spending time in nature reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Observing green landscapes and listening to the sounds of the Una River can improve mental clarity and relaxation by lowering cortisol levels, the stress hormone.

Disease Prevention – Regular time spent in nature can help prevent many modern lifestyle-related diseases, such as chronic stress, obesity, high blood pressure, and even diabetes.

Encourages Social Connections – Spending time outdoors can bring us closer to family and friends. A simple walk or shared meal in nature can be a great way to strengthen relationships and create unforgettable memories.

Nature is not just a place to enjoy – it is also a source of health and well-being. Every moment spent in nature, no matter how small, contributes to our physical and mental health.

We often take our health for granted until the moment it reminds us that we can no longer keep up with our usual pace. Investing in our health gives us the opportunity to live a fulfilling, active, and happy life. Taking care of our well-being is a long-term investment that pays off every single day!
