Purpose Fuels Well-Being
Having a clear sense of purpose significantly enhances mental health, resilience, and physical well-being. Essential lifestyle factors like adequate sleep, nutritious eating, and regular physical activity lay the foundation, but meaningful social relationships and time spent in nature further transcend these basics. Social connections contribute to longer lifespans and lower dementia rates in older adults, while benefiting younger individuals' mental health. Engaging with nature, particularly through exposure to specific trees like cedars, pines, and cypresses, has been shown to boost immunity by triggering the release of natural killer cells, demonstrating the profound impact of our environment on overall health.
