“By focusing on … inflammation markers, the study provides a biological explanation for why nature might improve health … particularly showing how it might prevent or manage diseases linked to chronic inflammation, like heart disease and diabetes.”
“It’s a pretty robust finding … And it’s this sort of nexus of exposure and experience: It’s only when you have both, when you are engaging and taking the enjoyment out of it, that you see these benefits.”
“It’s good to remind ourselves that it’s not just the quantity of nature … it’s also the quality.”
