Get Outside in 2023. Your Health Will Thank You.

Tis the season of resolution-making. If you’re like most people you’ve made a New Year’s goal to be healthier. In fact, the top three resolutions for 2022 were losing weight, eating healthier, and exercising more. But with less than 10% of people sticking to their resolutions some serious motivation is needed to help people meet their health goals.

A simple way to get healthier is to spend more time outdoors. Unfortunately, Americans spend greater than 93% of their time indoors—despite the mounting research showing the positive effects that fresh air, plants, trees, and water have on our health and well-being. The research is clear – people are more physically active and healthier when they’re outdoors.

Takeaway: Set a goal in 2023 to spend more time outdoors in nature. We know that it is good for our health, and researchers are tackling the important questions of why?
