We all know that nature brings countless benefits to our health. It not only connects us with the Earth but also relaxes us, allows us to breathe fresh air and above all it seems to help us improve our mood. Something that we have all been able to experience on occasion but that is now confirmed after the analysis of several studies regarding how the sounds and noises of nature influence us. The sounds and noises of nature improve our mood and our health. Research teams from Michigan State University, Carleton University, and Colorado State University have collaborated with the National Park Service. Together they analyzed 18 studies that show how natural sounds impact our health and are even capable of improving it. The results showed that listening to some natural noises has incredible effects on human health. Among other things, they help us reduce stress as well as pain, improve cognitive performance and also improve mood, but not only that.The research proposed by the teams not only describes the benefits, but indicates that the particular sounds they lead to a specific relief, improving our mood in general. Ultimately, listening to nature puts us in a good mood. The study lasted more than ten years, the researchers in fact carefully analyzed the studies conducted around the world and this certainly required a significant amount of effort and time. Professor Buxton of the Carleton University, Canada, together with his team, conducted an analysis to summarize the results obtained from previous studies.They found, for example, that birdsong helps relieve stress and discomfort; the sound of water, on the other hand, increases positive emotions, tranquility, awareness and relaxation.After the revealed results, the advice of the researchers is to visit parks or forests, or also, participate in walks that are organized in various parts of the world and that aim to help people relax thanks to the noise of nature.The benefits of natural sounds are good for mental health, but also physical, in fact a recent study has confirmed that making children play in nature it is much healthier for them. All of these linked studies have finally succeeded in showing that there is a direct correlation between the sounds of nature and less stress, better cognitive performance, high levels of creativity, and better sleep.
