The typical American spends only 5 percent of his or her time outside. Isn’t that bizarre? Humans evolved in wild environments, but now we live in a totally new indoor world, and it’s causing all sorts of health issues. Fortunately, there’s an antidote for these issues: Nature.

Whether you’re digging in the garden, hiking through the mountains, or simply taking a moment to enjoy the sunlight outside, all of these things can help revitalize your energy and lower your stress levels.
