Benefits by Time in Nature:
15 Minutes in Nature
Decrease in pulse rate by 3.9%
Decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.9%
Decrease in Diastolic blood pressure by 2.1%
Lower levels of cortisol (stress hormone)
Greater parasympathetic nerve activity and decreased sympathetic nerve activity. The sympathies and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to control respiration, digestion, and heart rate. When you are calm, the parasympathetic nervous system is increased, lowering your heart rate and respiration and increasing digestion. In a stressful situation, the fight or flight response is triggered, increasing the sympathetic nervous system to dilate pupils, increase heart rate and increase respiration, making you breathe faster.
