Are you bound by four walls? Getting Back To Nature.

When was the last time you spent some time outdoors? Walk in a park, trip to a forest, beach, mountains?  When was the last time you recharged your batteries? Oh no, did you say loooong time ago? Don’t feel bad you are not the only one. It’s estimated that an average American is isolated from nature 90 percent of the time. Whoa, that’s a staggering number! 

Scientists recently made a remarkable discovery about the brains of rats that exercise. It showed that their brain cells respond differently to stress than the neurons of slothful rats. It has been proven some time ago that the exercise stimulates the creation of new brain cells but scientists haven't figured out how these brain cells might be functionally different... until now.
