Ready for it….
Here comes the book/Dr. 🩺 🤓 nerd in me…
Not sure that my daily walk can get much better than this.
Freedom. Fresh Air. Forests.
I feel my natural killer (NK) cell count going up already. 🌲🍂🍁
Studies show…
“Spending time in a forest can significantly increase natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell that fights cancer and viruses, by reducing stress hormones and through exposure to plant-derived compounds called phytoncides. Studies show that activities like "forest bathing" (shinrin-yoku) can lead to a notable increase in both NK cell activity and number, with effects lasting for up to a week or even a month.”
