To celebrate this holiday that honors the planet we inhabit, let’s talk about the many ways that connecting with nature can help boost our well-being. • [Ways to use pressure points for sinus relief]( • [Start growing your own food without a yard or land]( • [Benefits of engaging your core, and how to do it]( Be well, Morgan Mandriota Newsletter Editor, Healthline Written by Morgan Mandriota April 22, 2024 • 2.5 min read [The many ways nature can heal us]( what’s got us buzzing [The many ways nature can heal us]( We all know from experience that letting the sun shine on your face or touching grass can be a natural mood booster. But did you know that spending time outside can help you breathe, sleep, and even see better, too? The [health benefits]( of getting outdoors run deep!️ And don’t worry, if you live in a city, you can still tap into the healing power of nature. A [2015 study]( found that spending time in “urban green spaces” like parks and communal areas may be able to offer similar health-boosting effects. I lived on Main Street in a busy city for 3 years and sitting in local parks and outdoor coffee shops definitely helped to lift my mood. Because today is Earth Day, we encourage you to step outside and enjoy the great outdoors, even if only for a few minutes. Here are some ways to connect with nature today: - Practice mindfulness on a [silent walk](. - Join a yoga class that meets outside. - Sit on a bench or invite friends to hang out in a local park. - Go for a [hike](. - Try [forest bathing](. - Sit by a lake, beach, or body of water. - Listen to birdsong outside your home or apartment. - Try community farming or gardening. - Connect with the earth by lying down and [grounding](. - Bike around your neighborhood, if it’s safe to do so. Tell me: How do *you* plan to celebrate Earth Day? I’ll be taking a walk around my block and sitting outside watching the birds eat from the feeders, including the one I review below. [your guide to getting outside]( Great finds Feed the birds [Twinkle Star Wild Bird Feeder]( [Twinkle Star Wild Bird Feeder]( If you’re looking for a peaceful activity, I highly recommend drinking your morning cup of caffeine while bird-watching. I bought this cute lighthouse-shaped feeder about a year ago, and it’s been an absolute joy witnessing birds come to hang out and grab food throughout the day. It keeps my indoor cat entertained, too! [SHOP NOW]( Every product we recommend has gone through either [Healthline's]( or Optum Store’s vetting processes.
