Spending quality time outside has always been touted as a good practice, But it turns out that spending more time with nature has more benefits that one could anticipate. According to a study published in The Journal of Positive Psychology, apparently spending even five minutes outdoors can give a considerable boost to one’s mood. The study states that “There is robust evidence that contact with the natural world improves human health, including emotional well-being.
However, the specific conditions of the emotional benefits of nature contact are sparsely understood.”According to a report in Time, spending time in any green space can help improve mental health as well make one a happier person. The same report stated that it is the quality and not the quantity of the green space that matters.
