Embrace the benefits of rain
For those of you that have a rainy forecast this weekend, there can be many health benefits to rain. Rain creates negative ions where the moving water results in negatively charged water mist. Other water sources that have negative ions include waterfalls, beaches, and even showers.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the increased humidity and higher concentration of negative ions during rain are often associated with a feeling of refreshed and uplifted spirits.
Rain can also be beneficial due to its ability to cleanse the air, providing a temporary improvement in respiratory health. Rain also acts as a stress reliever, and its sound can promote relaxation and improve mood. Walking in the rain can increase calorie burn, potentially improve overall health and wellbeing, and provides a sensory experience, enhancing the appreciation for nature's beauty and promoting a connection with the natural world.
May your weekend be healing and rejuvenating!
This makes me love the rain even more! 🩵🩵🩵
