Today's installment in that happy collection: a study from the University of Exeter in England. A study there found people who spend at least two hours a week in nature were much more likely to report that they had good health and better psychological well-being than those who didn't. [...]
More outdoor time was good, but the added benefit continued only up to five or six hours per week. Once study participants hit that level, they no longer reported any additional increase in health or well-being. [...]
"We tentatively suggest, therefore, that 120 mins contact with nature per week may reflect a kind of 'threshold,'" the report says, "below which there is insufficient contact to produce significant benefits to health and well-being, but above which such benefits become manifest."
