Scientists hope this latest study will encourage doctors to prescribe 'nature pills.'
Feeling as if we have come into contact with nature for at least 20 minutes could lower levels of stress hormones, according to scientists.
Participants were asked to not engage in activities that could make them stressed while taking their nature pills, including going out at night, exercising, using their phones, having conversations, or reading. A 28 percent per hour drop in the alpha-amylase enzyme was also noted in those who were least active and sat down, or sat and did a little walking.
Dr. MaryCarol Hunter, lead author of the study and associate professor at the University of Michigan, commented:"We know that spending time in nature reduces stress, but until now it was unclear how much is enough, how often to do it, or even what kind of nature experience will benefit us.
