Transcript

00:00Have you ever noticed how your worries fade when you step outside?

00:03That's not just in your head, it's science at work.

00:07When you breathe in fresh air, your body gets more oxygen.

00:12This oxygen helps your brain release serotonin and endorphins.

00:17These are the same, happy chemicals, that boost mood and reduce anxiety.

00:23Running or walking outdoors improves our mental health.

00:26If running feels tough, try brisk walking.

00:31Even 10 minutes outside can reset your mind.

00:35Research shows that just 20 minutes in nature can lower cortisol levels.

00:41Cortisol is your body's stress hormone.

00:45So, a gentle jog under the trees feels like therapy.
