Spending 10 to 30 minutes in nature, three to seven days per week, can lead to significant reductions in blood pressure, resting heart rate, and improvements in sleep and mood.

“And so here's what we know. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of studies that show that if people get out of doors into nature-- this could be parks. This could be near a stream. This could be an ocean, any number of different natural environments. And if they do that for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, three to seven days per week, indeed there are demonstrated significant reductions in things like blood pressure, resting heart rate, improvements in sleep, improvements in mood.”
