Healthcare professionals should recommend that patients spend time in blue spaces (oceans, rivers) and green spaces (forests, parks) for various health benefits


Spending up to 2 hours weekly in nature (about 20 minutes daily) improves mental health, reduces depression and anxiety, lowers blood pressure, and enhances sleep quality


Children who spend time in nature show reduced ADHD symptoms, better behaviour and improved physical development
Nature exposure benefits all age groups, helping to reduce urban mental health issues and providing social connection for isolated individuals


People with limited access to green spaces can create small gardens, use balcony plants, visit community gardens, or simply sit mindfully in local parks for similar benefits
