The Powerful Effect Of Nature

While we all know that rest is extremely important, scientific research has revealed that there are also significant health benefits to spending time in nature. Not only is the scenery a breathtaking thing to behold, but the overall impact on your physiological and mental health will leave you feeling rejuvenated and relaxed, even after spending a few minutes outdoors. Think of the last time you took a stroll through a garden or dipped your feet into the receding waves at the beach, and you’ll probably remember how it changed your mood and energy levels. You can experience this change of mood at our exclusive accommodation and at the St Lucia Wetlands.

Physical And Mental Benefits

Spending time in nature has shown to reduce your stress levels, increase your oxygen intake and lower your heart rate. Chronic health problems like hypertension, cardiac illness, and chronic pain symptoms improve and can even be prevented by being outdoors. If these aren’t enough reasons to convince you, all the fresh air you’ll be inhaling will also give your immune system a boost and provide you with a burst of energy – no energy drinks or caffeine needed.

In terms of the mental effects, exposure to nature has shown to be beneficial to people struggling with anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Studies have also shown that living in or visiting nature-rich areas increases one’s attention span, focus, memory retention, ability to think creatively and ability to solve problems.

With the bonus of encountering some of the most magnificent naturally occurring wildlife that South Africa has to offer.
