Hey everyone and welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog! Today is Workout Wednesday, today we explain why leaving the comfort of your home is healthy for you and your child(ren).
We all have a lazy side to us. However, we should not let that side overcome our active side. Although relaxing, watching TV, and enjoying yourself can relieve stress, leaving the comfort of your home to enjoy the fresh air outdoors can be healthier for you and your child.
Many studies show positive results in both adults and children that being outdoors does positive wonders. Many scientists have found that spending significant time in the outdoors helps build healthier immune systems within children. Nowadays only a few children are spending “significant” time outdoors these days. This is a loss for the children that spend their time indoors, not only to their immune systems but to their sense of place. They have found out that living in “high-nature conditions” buffers children against the effect of stressful life events.
One study of the effect of nature on the psychological well-being of children in third through fifth grade found that those with more nature near their homes had:
- Lower levels of behavioral conduct disorders.
- Less anxiety.
- Less depression.
- A higher sense of self-worth.
- Recovered more quickly from stressful life events.
Children and adults find it easier to concentrate and pay attention after spending time in nature.
- Children’s attention span was much improved when they moved to housing closer to natural, green spaces, than urban environment.
- A Swedish study of day cares found that children in day cares with a natural play area were able to concentrate better than those in a more urban setting.
- Concentration and ability to pay attention in adults are also improved by time in nature.

Through stories and experience, many people become one with nature to relieve all the stresses in their lives. Even burdening a lot of work and stress, one is able to just relish all that stress when uniting with nature. Take a walk down the beach, or maybe some place quiet, and just relax. It may prove more relaxing than watching TV or lying on your couch, I can certainly vouch for it :). Whether you work at home or not, balance your time between home and the outdoors.
