According to some studies in Japan, getting outside around plants is good for your health. Well, duh! I figured everyone knew that. In my non-scientific way of looking at it, if you're outside you are probably doing something, something active -- which is good for you.
In Japan, they call it 'forest bathing'. Is that a cool way to put it or what?!
But the article goes on to state some more scientific facts than what I presented above. Being outside among plants and trees actually can boost your white blood cells. And it can lower your blood pressure and your pulse rate.
Another reason to help preserve our natural places and promote parks.
Guess I'll live til I'm 148.
