Spending time in nature has a multitude of benefits for our health and well-being. It can reduce the risk of disease, restore our spirits, and increase feelings of happiness. However, in today’s fast-paced lifestyle, many people often neglect their health due to factors such as consuming unhealthy food, high work pressure, and lack of time for outdoor activities.
Dr. Doan Thu Hong from the Vietnam Institute of Applied Medicine pointed out that despite the relatively high life expectancy in the country, many people live with illness for a significant portion of their lives. This is often due to lifestyle factors and environmental pollution. The Ministry of Health’s statistics show that the lower the number of healthy years a person has, the higher the burden of disease, which can impact their ability to work, income, and increase medical costs.
