Recent research published in the journal, Scientific Reports*, found that people getting 30 ‘green’ minutes a week in one session are likely to have healthier emotional, physical, social and mental well-being than those who don’t. The research also tells us that more regular contact with nature will have an even greater effect- so the more greenery, the better off you are! According to Beyond Blue’s “Beyond Blue to Green” report “Well being relates to good psychological and physical health and encourages favourable thoughts and feelings, satisfaction with life, ability to be self sufficient and proactive , possessing a sense of happiness and a positive evaluation of one’s life in a general sense”.
