Nature is good for you

How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you often feel like going
outside for a walk? Or if you work for hours at your desk, do you feel better when you take
a break and visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for us; it’s good for
our bodies and good for our brains.

However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the
number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is going down every year. And in countries
such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors
feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century, and that it is making our physical
health worse.

As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health; one
example of this is the work of Dr. Matilda van den Bosch in Sweden. The doctor gave two
groups of people a math test. During the test, the heart rate1 of people in both groups
increased. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality room with pictures
and sounds of nature for fifteen minutes. Later, their heart rates were slower than the heart
rates of people in the other group.

The virtual contact with nature helped these people feel more relaxed. Another good
example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers
studied 31,000 people living in cities. Overall, they found that people who lived near parks
were healthier.

1. The number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is decresing every year. True

tapescript
00:08
Essentially
00:10
if your energy body is balanced and fully activated
00:17
there can be no physical or psychological ailment in you.
00:20
It’s simply not possible.
00:23
I can show you hundreds and thousands of people
00:26
who walked out of their ailments completely,
00:29
simply, not by any treatment,
00:32
simply by bringing a certain balance to the system.
00:35
There are any number of people,
00:37
it is not some kind of miraculous thing.
00:41
It is just a deeper understanding of the system
00:44
and the system is a miracle,
00:46
there is no question about that.
00:49
This is a miracle, isn’t it?
00:52
No?
00:53
Yes or no?
00:55
It’s a phenomenal miracle, isn’t it?
00:58
So the magic is already there.
01:01
You just have to play with it right. That’s all.
01:04
You don’t have to do any extra magic.
01:07
Already everything is magical, isn’t it so in the existence.
01:11
Yes or no?
01:13
Every atom is a magic by itself
01:15
because we have still not figured anything in its entirety.
01:20
So,
01:23
very simple,

Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla …………………………………………………………Ejercicios

 Lengua Extranjera III | 13

01:25
you don’t have to do any great yoga of twisting yourself
01:28
upside down and all that.
01:30
Simple things.
01:32
If you breath right and keep your body in a certain level of balance
01:37
you will see there is no need
01:40
to have any kind of ailments.
01:44
Ailments are of two kinds.
01:47
One is infectious.
01:50
Infectious means it’s an invasion from outside.,
01:54
that we have to deal with medicine.
01:57
For that you must go to the doctor.
02:00
But over seventy percent of the ailments on the planet are chronic in nature.
02:05
That means you are producing your own ailments.
02:11
Self- help this is called (Laughs)
02:16
because nobody is bothering you;
02:19
you want to do something to yourself
02:22
so most over seventy of the ailments are because of self help.
02:30
People are generating ailments from within.
02:34
And this cannot be cured by any medicine.
02:38
You can only manage it.
02:41
You can never cure it.
02:44
But the very source of making this body is within us.
02:50
It comes from within.
02:51
Your heart, liver, kidney everything is manufactured from within. Isn’t it?
02:56
If you do certain simple things,
02:59
if you allow,
03:01
fixing also happens from within
03:04
and every human being is capable of this.
03:07
It is just that they have never paid attention to it.
03:10
Only advantage is,
03:12
if you go to a doctor, he will do it.
03:15
These things you must do, that’s the only problem. (Laughs)
