Abstract
- The article delves into the historical and scientific ties between human health and nature, exploring how different cultures and philosophies have valued nature for its positive impact on well-being. Scientific studies, such as Shinrin-yoku in Japan and satellite data analysis, have demonstrated that exposure to green environments can reduce stress, enhance mood, and benefit physical health. The text underscores the significance of population biobanks and environmental sensors in comprehending the correlation between human health and the environment. It also highlights how viewing natural scenes can lead to decreased stress levels, quicker recovery from stressful situations, and improved cognitive function, with open vistas and scattered trees being more beneficial for stress reduction than dense forests. The article stresses the importance of taking microbreaks to gaze at natural landscapes for overall well-being. [Extracted from the article]
