In this endless flood of information we are swimming in nowadays are brains can be burned out by the task of sorting through this flow of valuable useless information -- the point where we become burned out. Have you ever sought ways to recuperate from all this?
This relief is actually not far away if your turn to nature. In his feature, "Nature and the brain" in the May 2012 edition of Alive magazine, Eva Selhub, MD says: "Researchers from the United Kingdom, Japan, China and the US have connected parks, gardens, green areas, and forests with lower mortality from cancers, circulatory diseases, stroke and other causes.
Apparently living in areas surrounded by parks or other green areas can create a host of benefits such as lower stress; reduced illness; better mental health; more caring attitudes in people and memory.
So you might want to think twice before moving into that glass tower surrounded by nothing by steel, glass, and concrete -- unless it has the new style roof gardens or is not far from parks or other areas.
Taking time to meditate or walks in such areas can be critical to your health.
(For a more more detailed explanation of all this pick up the May 2012 edition of Alive magazine from a health food store or the publishers -- or check with the publishers online at www.alive.com.)
