Why Fresh Air Does the Body Good

By Genevieve Cunningham

If you’ve ever been stuck inside for days on end, you know how boring and depressing it can be. While it’s easy to think that this boredom is simply caused by a lack of something to do, it might be more than that. It may be that you and your body need a breath of fresh air. As people have known for a long time, fresh air is really good for our health. But why? What’s the big deal about getting outdoors? Take a look at these three great reasons to schedule some time in the sun and fresh air as soon as today.

It Energizes

It has been proven time and again that a blast of fresh air can actually give you more energy. If you’re feeling run down or fatigued, go for a quick walk in the great outdoors. The oxygen along with the smells of nature (think trees, flowers, rain, etc.) help to increase your energy levels as well as your awareness. You may find that you feel more awake and alert if you spend a few minutes outside every day.

It Boosts Moods

Fresh air can really lift your spirits. Similar to the way fresh air works to provide energy, the smells and intake of oxygen allows you to feel better overall. Getting fresh air on a regular basis can help fight depression or feelings of worthlessness. And it also helps that getting fresh air often means getting a blast of Vitamin D as well. The bottom line? If you’re in a funk, step outside to get back on track.

It Improves the Immune System

There’s no doubt that fresh air is good for you, and for most people, that is quite a literal statement. Those who get outside and breathe fresh (clean) air on a regular basis have been shown to have stronger immune systems than those who stay indoors. This means less illness overall, as your body has an easier time fighting off germs before they invade and take over. If you want to keep yourself well, make it a point to get outside and breathe deep.

There is nothing worse than being stuck indoors for long periods of time. We all need fresh air; our bodies crave the oxygen and the good feelings that come with it. Not only will you feel better, but you may boost your health for a lifetime. Make some time in your life to get outside and breathe the freshness. Your body and your mind will thank you in the long run.
