Hiking is Good for Your Mental Health

It has been our long held belief that hiking has the power to lift people up, enhance one's mental health and sense of well-being. We are gratified to know that this belief is now scientifically proven by a June 2015 study conducted at Stanford University and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) titled "Nature experience reduces rumination and subgenual prefrontal cortex activation (http://www.pnas.org/content/112/28/8567.abstract)"

On Fri, Jul 30, 2021 at 6:10 AM Lee Quintanar <leequintanar@gmail.com> wrote:

Here's an interesting quote:

"Rumination (the repetitive thought focused on negative aspects of the self) is a known risk factor for mental illness. This study shows that participants in a 90-minute walk in the wilderness reported lower levels of rumination and showed reduced neural activity in an area of the brain linked to risk for mental illness compared with those who walked through an urban environment."

Guess we should do more nature walks!  Sounds good to me!
