Spending time in a natural environment elicits increased physical activity and well-being. Apart from promoting physical activity, are there added health benefits of exposure to natural environments? Just being exposed to sunlight can treat things like seasonal affective disorder and provide vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. It is well-established that exercise outdoors boosts Dopamine Release and enhances mental health. Are there any other inherent benefits? The only way to find out is to put it to the test. You don’t know until you try, and the potential health benefits of natural environments are undoubtedly worth exploring.
While fasting is trendy, we still need to know a lot. What do we mean by fasting? How long and when will it be, and will it be periodic reduced calories, water only, modified therapeutic fasting, etc.? The good news is that extensive studies are now being performed. Regardless, considering it is mental health month, I thought I would share an interesting finding. Principally, the experience of fasting may support motivation for lifestyle change. Most fasters experience clarity of mind and the ability to “let go” of past actions and experiences and thus may develop a more positive attitude toward lifestyle changes.
Some people living with obesity may be recommended to start on obesity medicine to support their journey to a healthier life. Although this is good advice, It is critical to see obesity medicine as a tool in a wider, holistic plan rather than a “one-stop-shop” to reduce weight, as this may not be sustainable in the long term. A sustainable life style modification and psychological support are key success factors alongside a nutritional diet. Visit us at
