PARKS ARE GOOD FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Not a week goes by these days when a scientist doesnt warn us about dangers in the enviroment -cell phones cause obesity; and plant estrogens impair reproductuve health. News like this makes us want to move into a bubble.
Japanese scientists reported that some chemicals in the enviroment are good for us. Trees are plants release phyoncides that protect them from insects and lack of mositure. They also boost the immune system in humans. People exposed to the great outdoors showed reduced levels of cortisol, heart rate, blood pressure, increased levels of natural killer cells that protect us from disease. Take a walk in the park! It's good for you.
