RE: Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'The Red Bridge' (Part #340)

People living in urban areas are now more and more likely to increase in comparison with the number of people living in rural areas. In fact, in the city area, we will be quite difficult to find a green open space large enough and can be a place to walk.

Although it looks trivial, the fresh outdoors can actually affect human health. Health experts through the journal even revealed that humans who often enjoy the outdoors with a walk, then the health of his brain tend to be much better.

Walking in the green open was able to reduce the tendency of people to think negatively so that the possibility of himself experiencing stress, anxiety excessive, until the depression was decreased dramatically. What is interesting is that, when compared to walking in urban areas full of buildings and other constructions, people will often think more negatively and remember the various moments of disappointment and embarrassment in his life.

A study by Gregory Bratman from Stanford University reveals this. He studied 19 people who had filled out questionnaires about his psychological condition. Then, they are required to walk in the green open for a very fresh half hour. After that, the participants were then asked to walk with the same duration of time in urban areas where they passed the alleys that have been filled with many buildings. After that, Bratman began to observe the participants' brain activity by scanning.

From the results of brain scanning, it is known that those who routinely walk in the open green will have better brain health where the brain areas that potentially cause mental illness tend to be less active. Given this fact, we certainly should often walk in the green open for better brain health.
