We know that getting a healthy daily dose of nature is good for our wellbeing, but happily walking in winter is often easier said than done.
Studies have shown that spending time outside is good for our minds, with one recently finding that one short ‘awe-inspiring’ walk a day can be enough to dramatically improve our moods.
On top of that, scientists found in 2019 that spending just 20-30 minutes outside can lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, by 10%.
But with the weather having completely and utterly turned, the outside world is that much less inviting.
