Sanjay Gupta: 我多年来一直在研究自然与健康的关系,发现自然既能治愈,也能带来意想不到的挑战。例如,靠近水体有益心理健康,但极端高温会加剧情绪障碍等问题。 Melissa Lem: 大量研究表明,户外活动对多种健康状况有益,包括糖尿病、高血压、儿童注意力缺陷多动障碍等。实验室研究也证实,自然景观能积极影响人体激素、神经递质、血压和心率变异性等指标。理想的医疗环境是在森林中,让人身心放松,促进社交。我们习惯于用药物治疗高血压等疾病,但自然疗法也同样重要。自然环境有助于恢复注意力和减轻压力,这与人类进化有关。人类与自然环境的互动是与生俱来的,我们应该在自然中度过更多时间。大脑对自然和城市景观的反应不同,自然景观能促进积极情绪。森林中的植物杀菌素能增强免疫力,减轻压力。缺乏户外活动会导致儿童健康问题,例如近视、肥胖和慢性病。医生可以开具“自然处方”,鼓励患者进行户外活动以改善身心健康,即使在附近的公园或自家后院,也能获得与自然亲近的益处。 Sanjay Gupta: 我个人也体验过森林疗法,感到身心放松,血压和皮质醇水平显著下降。
