A recent study found that more frequent positive contact with nature was associated with lower circulating levels of three different substances that are indicative of inflammation. Spending time in nature can prevent or control heart disease and diabetes.
The team’s analysis included participants in an additional biomarker study during the second wave of the survey (the first wave in 1994-95, the second wave 10 years later).
The team found that even after controlling for demographics, health behaviors, medications, and overall well-being, lower levels of inflammation were consistently associated with more frequent positive contact with nature.
