After years of staying indoors more than you’d like, this summer offers a chance to hit that reset button. June is the perfect time to reconnect with nature, loved ones, and your own sense of balance.
Whether hiking the Boulder Canyon Trail or just walking around your neighborhood, spending time outside can help you feel better and function at your peak.
Nature’s Health Benefits Go Beyond the Obvious
Spending time in green spaces isn’t just enjoyable, it’s good for your health. Truly. In 2017, Doctors in Scotland even started writing nature prescriptions for patients! Here are just a few science-backed reasons to embrace the outdoors:
- Naturally boosts your energy
- Lowers stress levels and supports mood balance
- Reduces inflammation and supports immune function
- Improves focus, memory, and problem-solving
- Helps regulate sleep and circadian rhythms
Sunlight also helps your body produce vitamin D, a key nutrient for immune health and bone strength. Physical activity just feels easier outdoors, making it more likely you’ll move your body without it feeling like a chore (like making yourself go to the gym).
Feeling Foggy or Fatigued? Try a Dose of Fresh Air
Mental exhaustion often builds slowly. If you’ve been feeling drained, unmotivated, or mentally cluttered, getting outside, even for just 15 minutes, can shift your state. Even simple experiences like the scent of fresh-cut grass or blooming flowers can serve as natural aromatherapy, calming the mind and lifting the mood.
Stay Ready for Outdoor Adventures
Getting regular chiropractic care is another healthy habit to adopt. Gentle adjustments help keep your body moving comfortably and efficiently so you can fully enjoy your favorite outdoor activities. How does chiropractic care help? Spinal adjustments support balance, mobility, and nerve system function, reducing tension and helping prevent strain.
Whether it’s hiking your favorite trail, cycling at Valmont Bike Park, or gardening, spinal care can help you stay active and feel your best outside.
Make Time for What Fills You Up
