Physical activity can improve the nature and sense of personal well-being, relax and improve mental health. You do not have time for that? Five minutes of outside activity will do the job. A new study shows that even small amounts of green activities are of significant impact on mental health.
more and more evidence gathered that the combination of activities such as walking or cycling along with nature, improves personal welfare and reduces the risk of mental illness. But, until now it was unclear how long the green activity that would be good enough to mind.
In this study, British researchers examined data collected on 1,252 people who participated in ten different studies. The researchers argue that the first time in the scientific literature, they were able to show the ratio of the dose – response of the positive effects of nature on mental health.
The study found significant and very rapid improvements in mood, self-esteem and sense of personal well-being among people who invested in five minutes as a green activity park, a garden in the backyard or going for natural.
They tested various types of outdoor activities, including walking, gardening, traveling on bicycles, fishing and horseback riding, in places such as parks, gardens and paths in the wild. Greatest effect observed within five minutes of activity only. The more time that has been made in the green environment exercise was longer, the positive effect of increased and it was clear, but a lower yield in relation to prolonged time.
The study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology journal showed that physical and mental health changes were particularly significant in young people suffering from mental. But, people of all ages and social groups made the activity.
all habitats kind to the participants, including parks in urban areas. The largest effect is Achsahahatamlut Green took place in such water also contained a lake or river.
The researchers explain that according to scientific literature, short-term improvements in mental health beneficial long-term health. According to them, if people take care of themselves more through green exercise, the potential benefit of man, society and health services budget, is large. Turns out it does not require too much
Anxiety disorders are a family of mental states includes generalized anxiety in it (made sure), social anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, phobias (such as fear of flying, fear of elevators, fear of both checks and fear of animals) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These disorders are very common, about 10% to 30% of people suffer at some stage in life anxiety disorder.
Considered the most effective treatments for anxiety disorder are medication Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Behavioral therapy component includes a gradual and prolonged exposure to things of which the person concerned (according to the hierarchy problem) and the cessation of use at Tentative “adopted to reduce anxiety. When the person remains a difficult situation without escape, he learns that nothing bad happens to him and starts to get used to it not more alarming.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is the treatment investigated and found to be effective for many anxiety disorders. However, studies do not always accurately reflect conditions in the world outside the lab, so it is unclear how valid conclusions about the real treatment. For example, the claim is a condition of participating in studies is less severe than from patients in clinics do not research. Another argument is carefully studies dealing latch a predetermined treatment protocol in the real world and that therapists tend not to remain completely loyal to the protocol were examined. As a result of these factors may be treated in the laboratory more effective treatments others.
Therapy in “Chennai lab” versus psychological treatment “real world”
In recent years, clinicians in the field of psychology researchers conducted numerous studies examining the effectiveness of psychological treatment in the field. While these studies is more difficult to know with certainty that the improvement is only in the patient receiving treatment, but the advantage that they better reflect the reality and thus can incorporate them into the real world.
Recent research, edited by Stuart Okmblas *, collected 56 studies “Ntorlistem” (ie, real clinics conducted) examined the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders in adults. All research has been refined analysis relates to cognitive behavioral therapies length at least six meetings, which will not make any use of drugs. 17 of 56 studies were treating panic attacks, social anxiety treatment 11, 11 for OCD, 11 treatment for generalized anxiety disorder and post traumatic therapy 6.
The study compared the state of the subjects before and after treatment. It was found that Cognitive behavioral therapy led to significant improvement in anxiety and depression disorder patients. In six of the studies reviewed was a control group – in a state of anxiety disorders of the participants in the control group improved 22%, anxiety disorder status of the participants who Cognitive behavioral therapy improved by 78%. These studies reinforce the strong research base to lean Cognitive behavioral therapy and show that this treatment is the psychological treatment of anxiety disorders also for real life
