Why Nature Works: The Science

Terra Nova Well delves into the evidence-based benefits of connecting with the natural world, transforming your well-being with profound, measurable effects.

Reduced Cortisol

Studies show time spent in natural environments significantly lowers the body's primary stress hormone.

Improved Immunity

Exposure to natural compounds released by trees, called phytoncides, can boost natural killer cell activity.

Enhanced Focus

Nature restores directed attention, combating mental fatigue and improving cognitive function.

Lower Blood Pressure

Even passively viewing natural scenes has been shown to reduce blood pressure and heart rate.
