Going out for a picnic is great for us; here’s why:
Fresh air:
Visiting the outdoors and spending time with nature helps us to rejuvenate. Breathing in the fresh air helps us to alleviate symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Fresh air is great for boosting digestion and improving blood pressure and heart rate.
Vitamin D:
The Sunshine Vitamin is produced by the skin as a response to exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D helps in facilitating the immune system functions and boosts the normal growth and development of teeth and bones.
Bonding time:
Going out on picnics with our loved ones helps in having a bonding time and developing deeper emotional connections. When we spend quality time with them, we connect to them more. This helps us to combat feelings of loneliness.
Laughter:
Picnics are incomplete without laughing about silly things, gossip and memories. Laughter helps in releasing Endorphins, which makes us feel good and happy. It also helps in triggering healthy physical and mental changes in the body.
Being present:
When we go out on a picnic, we go off the hook from our work stress. This helps us to be more present in the moment with our loved ones and appreciate life more. This further helps us in boosting creativity and having a positive outlook.
