Committed to promoting green living, The Reserve Belize provides residents with eco-conscious construction and activities in a 14,000-acre development. The Reserve Belize inspires residents to engage in various outdoor activities that contribute to overall wellness. Below are just a few of the health benefits of spending time outdoors.
1. The human body converts sunshine into chemicals that transform into vitamin D. However, it’s common for American adults to have a vitamin D deficiency. Getting 10 to 15 minutes of direct sunshine every day will boost vitamin D production and can improve health.
2. Although the dangers of outdoor air pollution are well known, oftentimes indoor air pollution can be up to 10 times worse. Household chemicals, paint, and mold may contribute to indoor air pollution. Therefore, breathing fresh outdoor air may benefit the respiratory system.
3. Studies show that being outdoors can relieve stress. Taking a walk or run in a natural setting allows one to be surrounded by nature which can induce calm feelings, create a sense of well-being, and even enhance creativity.
