Ever feel like a wilted lettuce after hours indoors? That’s your “factory setting” calling for a reboot. It’s called biophelia (unfortunate name), the proven science that humans are hardwired to crave nature.
Studies show just 20 minutes of “forest bathing”, even in a city park, can spike your immune cells for a week! It’s all about the “Awe Factor”; feeling small under big trees actually shuts down the brain’s worry center. If you’re stuck inside, try “biophilic design.” Adding plants, natural light, or even fractal patterns in art can trick your caveman brain into relaxing. Nature isn’t just a weekend luxury; it’s a biological buffer against stress. So, grab a plant and let your “Second Brain” breathe!
