Forest Bathing
Trust me, Hiking fixes everything! All your worries just magically fade away when you’re able to let go and tune in with nature and all that is.
There is a lot of research backing the notion that hiking is not only good for an individual’s physical health but also their mental and emotional well-being.
For centuries, in fact, Japanese culture has embraced the practice of Shinrin yoku, “forest bathing” for its health benefits.
The benefits of hiking have become so widely accepted that doctors actually prescribe hiking as a therapeutic activity.
It only goes to follow, then, that the younger you start hiking, the more attuned you will be to its advantages.
