We all know that hiking is good for you, but it's better for more of you than perhaps you originally thought. According to a recent study, participants who took walks through a natural setting experienced lower levels of negative thought than other participants who walked the same amount of time in a non-natural setting. If you really want a workout for your brain you can read the original study here.  |

Some more coverage of the same study from the New York Times. Quote:They also had less blood flow to the subgenual prefrontal cortex. I always knew that part of me was trouble. Quote:...many questions remain, he said, including how much time in nature is sufficient or ideal for our mental health... The more, the better, amirite? |

I find long walks help increase blood flow to help heal my frontal lobotomy. |
Happy Trails!
