[00:02.53]Exercising in natural areas
[00:05.75]is not only good for your physical health
[00:08.49]-it can improve your mood and sense of well-being
[00:11.82]in as little as five minutes.
[00:13.99]So says research in the journal
[00:16.73]Environmental Health and Technology.
[00:18.92]Exercise alone is known to make you happier.
[00:23.28]So is being in a natural setting.
[00:26.28]So scientists wanted to see the effect of combining the two.
[00:30.76]They evaluated 10 different UK studies
[00:34.93]involving more than 1,200 people.
[00:38.45]Participants had taken part in activities such as gardening,
[00:43.54]sailing and country walks, and rated their mood and self-esteem.
[00:48.62]The research showed that both areas get a significant boost
[00:54.06]with as little as five minutes of outdoor exercise.
[00:57.93]And people with mental disorders benefited the most.
[01:02.05]The study authors say this is the first study
[01:05.51]to quantify the amount of time needed to get a positive effect.
