How to safely de-tox from IT overload—with the healing
effects of nature Scientific studies have shown that
natural environments can have remarkable benefits for human
health. Natural environments are more likely to promote
positive emotions; and viewing and walking in nature have
been associated with heightened physical and mental energy.
Nature has also been found to have a positive impact on
children who have been diagnosed with impulsivity,
hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorder. A powerful
wake-up call for our tech-immersed society, Your Brain on
Nature examines the fascinating effects that exposure to
nature can have on the brain. In Your Brain on
Nature, physician Eva Selhub and naturopath Alan Logan
examine not only the effects of nature on the brain—but the
ubiquitous influence of everyday technology on the brain,
and how IT overload and its many distractions may even be
changing it. Offering an antidote for the
technology-addicted, the book outlines emerging nature-based
therapies including ecotherapy, as well as practical
strategies for improving your (and your children's)
cognitive functioning, mental health, and physical
well-being through ecotherapeutic, nutritional, and
behavioural means. - Details the back to nature
movement and the benefits of nature on the brain and body,
from reducing the symptoms of ADHD to improving mood and
physical energy
- Explains the effects of air quality,
aromas, light and sound on the brain, including SAD and
sleep loss
A fascinating look at the effects
that both nature and technology have on the brain's
functioning and one's overall well-being, Your Brain on
Nature is every tech-addict's guide to restoring health
and balance in an increasingly IT-dependent world.
