Welcome
Do you want to improve your health, elevate your brain power and feel great? Justgoutside. It’s the best medicine.
Most people say they love the outdoors and good weather days, but the average American spends most of their time in offices and homes INDOORS. This indoor living is not good for your health.
So, justgoutside and start getting healthier and happier!
Some of the Science
For millions of years, humans lived outside and depended on nature for everything. Food, shelter and sleep cycles were all determined by nature. In the last thousand years or so, there has been major shift in that relationship. In the last 50 years particularly, humans have moved away from that relationship with nature. In such a short time period maybe only a couple of generations, there is no way we could adapt well to this change. Our bodies and mind still want to be outside with nature.
