Nature Makes You Healthy


Ever heard of Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing?  It's when you visit nature for therapeutic benefits.  Japanese researchers say that spending time near trees increases the activity of disease-fighting white blood cells by 50 percent.  They give credit to the antimicrobial compounds emitted by plants called phytoncides, which help our immune cells destroy bacteria and viruses.
