Nature 120 1.5

The Nature 120 application represents a comprehensive platform dedicated to advancing health and wellbeing through engagement with nature. It offers users an innovative approach to reconnecting with the natural environment in meaningful and scientifically supported ways.

Research indicates that modern lifestyles see humans allocating over 80% of their time indoors, often within high-paced, stressful environments. These conditions have been linked to adverse effects on physical and mental health. Contemporary scientific findings, alongside indigenous knowledge, affirm that spending time in nature provides significant benefits for overall wellness.

Indeed, exposure to natural settings serves as an effective countermeasure to the stresses associated with contemporary living. Notably, the beneficial impacts of nature are accessible and cost-free; some studies suggest that such exposure can be up to 20% more effective than other wellness interventions.

But what exactly is nature-based health and wellbeing? This approach draws from ancient healing traditions and emphasizes the interconnectedness of human health and ecological vitality. It incorporates evidence-based practices aligned with current scientific understanding and indigenous wisdom, fostering a holistic pathway to wellness.

One of the most extensive research efforts in this area shows that engaging with natural environments for at least 120 minutes weekly correlates with numerous health benefits, including improved social interactions, increased creativity, enhanced focus and attention, better sleep quality, strengthened immune response, improved mood, greater life satisfaction, reduced blood pressure and cortisol levels, alongside lower rates of depression and anxiety. Additionally, participants often experience accelerated recovery from illness or surgery, higher academic achievement, and reduced exposure to environmental pollutants.

How does Nature 120 facilitate these benefits? The platform is designed for ease of use:

• Prepare: Begin with mood assessment, select a nature-based practice, start the timer, and head outdoors.
• Immerse: Engage fully with your selected activity while experiencing the natural environment around you.
• li>
• Reflect:
• Reassess your mood, reflect on insights gained, and deepen your awareness of emotions and nature connection.

The practices, microbreaks, soundscapes, and informational content within Nature 120 are developed by leading experts in ecopsychology and nature-based therapies. These elements integrate ancient traditions with contemporary scientific research and are grounded in empirical evidence.

While the emerging field of ecopsychology demonstrates promising results for human health, it is important to recognize that such practices complement but do not replace professional medical or psychological treatment. Users should consult healthcare professionals regarding any health concerns. Nature 120 may serve as a supportive adjunct based on individual assessments by qualified practitioners.
