8 Ways Nature Changes Your Brain

Getting regular time outside in Nature is an effective way to boost your brain and nourish your body. From supporting attention and immune response to awakening a greater sense of empathy and connection, immersion in Nature positively impacts brain function on many levels.

Every experience you have in life is reflected in the activity of your brain’s neural pathways. As you learn, you develop new connections between neurons. These connections can link regions in the brain that process different kinds of information. The senses you activate, and the ways that you focus your mind, work together to lay down these neural pathways.

Nature Nourishes Your Brain

When you engage your senses in Nature, your brain takes in a rich variety of information from the environment. By mindfully focusing your awareness through your senses, you “bring Nature into your brain” and create robust neural pathways that nourish and support your well-being.
