Today is your day Boomer! It is not a surprise that nature walks are good for you. We, Boomers, do it all the time! In fact, there are numerous recent studies that confirm the positive impact of walking or hiking in a natural environment versus city outings. According to Castanet News, "A 2005 study showed that walking 35 minutes per day, five times per week, or 60 minutes three times per week, significantly improved symptoms of depression. Walking 15 minutes per day did not have such an effect on mood. Other reported symptoms included lower blood pressure, protection against heart disease and boosting self-esteem." Okay, let's do it Boomers. If we are lucky, nature is right out our back door. Otherwise, we need to drive to get to it. And why not go with friends or family to make it more safe and socially enjoyable? And why not head to a variety of "nature" landscapes to help escape the ordinary? Nature calls Boomers.....cheers!
