However in spite of knowing all the facts we tend to spend considerable time inside. Here are 4 ways staying close to nature can improve our life:
Lowering stress
Being outdoors calms you slowly and for a long time. It brings changes to the way your brain is working. People who spend their time outside are less prone to resort to antidepressants. Moreover, when the stress levels are reduced your chances of falling sick also reduce.

For a person handling some trauma in his life, being in nature can help him in healing his soul. This is because when we are outside, we tend to become engrossed in the beauty and depth of the trees, plants, and animals. When we lose ourselves in the surroundings it becomes easy for us to forget and forgive.
Connect with people
However hard-pressed you are for time, if you are outside, you would surely find some like-minded individuals to spend your time with. This in return builds a sense of belonging within the community and reduces chances of street crimes and discord amongst neighbours.
Changes in mood
People who have been depressed and hurt in the present scenario have asserted that being outdoors has uplifted their spirits. Moreover, when outside, you tend to focus on details and this increases your attention spans. Your overworked brain gets some respite and once back you resume your work with vigour.
People who tend to stay indoors become pessimistic and suffer from health ailments. However, if the same person goes camping, his mood changes in a different manner and he is able to explore nature in a better manner.
