A huge part of why team Balance + Glo have found themselves on the Isle of Wight is to feel close to nature every single day 🌱 A study completed by the Mental Health charity Mind found that 95% of the participants mood improved after being out in nature changing from depressed, anxious to more calm and balanced.

Another study at the Human-Environment Research Lab found that when participants viewed nature scenes, the parts of the brain associated with empathy and love lit up, but when they viewed urban scenes, the parts of the brain associated with fear and anxiety were activated. It appears as though nature inspires feelings that connect us to each other and our environment.

We’re encouraging our members to send pictures to our community pages of their #winterwalks to inspire each other to get outside everyday.
