Get Outside!

Have you ever heard of the word Biophilia?

Well, Biophilia is the human desire to spend time outdoors among the plants and tress (yes there is a word for this phenomenon).

Now that Mother Nature is making the days feel a bit warmer and brighter - it is a perfect time to get outside. Just going outside for 5, 10, 15 minutes can reduce our stress levels, lengthen our attention span for improved moments of concentration, and potentially even help you to live longer.

This Friday is Earth Day - April 22nd, 2011. So, make it appoint to get outside and breath some fresh air, go for a walk, get a little bit of sun (don't forget the sunscreen) and be amongst the plants and trees!

Find some Earth Day celebrations in your community this Friday.
