**Did you know 71% of Japanese hospitals recommend forest therapy?**
Forest bathing, a Japanese concept, involves spending time in nature to reduce stress. Studies have shown that forest bathing lowers cortisol levels and improves immune function.
As Dr. Qing Li says, "Forest bathing is the ultimate medicine for our modern life."
What's the most relaxing forest experience you've had?
Today I took myself to a forest for some much-needed nature time. Thereβs a Save-On grocery store nearby so I stopped in.
They have a *huge* health section. The nutritionist came to see if I was finding everything + I mentioned I was happy to see the selection of brands.
I noted one for hot flashes + he was surprised I needed that. He said he thought I was 35 but I told him Iβll be 55 this year.
I love seeing surprised reactions to my age.

Research shows spending time in nature reduces stress by 30%.
Being in nature has been shown to lower cortisol levels and blood pressure, while also improving mood and cognitive functioning. This is likely due to the calming effects of natural scenery, as well as the opportunity for physical activity.
