407 Let’s Go Out to The Woods

Let’s Go Out to The Woods

Today, we live in a stressful society.
The challenge is how to deal with stress.
A little stress helps the soul grow,
Too much stress causes problems.

Problems are a burden on the mind.
When they accumulate, they lead to mental illness,
When they pile up, they lead to physical illness.

Forests cover about 66% of Japan.
It is the third most forested country in the world.

Forests are full of mystery.
They reduce human stress.
When stress is high, the sympathetic nervous system is heightened.
A simple walk in the forest relaxes the sympathetic nervous system,
This is a sign that the parasympathetic nervous system is heightened.
In addition, just two days spent in the forest can activate human immune cells,
Immune cells that inhibit cancer.

We live in a stressful world,
Surrounded by devices and noises.
In ancient times, we were part of the forest,
Now we live in a far different environment.
Stress increases day by day.

At times like these, take it easy and don’t overdo it,
Let’s go out to the woods!
