Environmental Wellness | Day 7 of Active Aging Week
Being good stewards and caretakers of our environment is one of the seven dimensions of wellness. Whether it’s taking a walk, kayaking, going for a hike or a boat ride, connecting with nature has great benefits. Studies show that whether you live in nature, visit it, or simply look at it in paintings, each can have a positive impact. Research revealed that looking at photos of natural environments can be enough to elicit feelings of awe, reverence, and gratitude, which can lead to a greater sense of health and well-being.
