      We’ve know for a long time (and honestly common sense and personal experience tells you this as well) that time spent outside lifts your spirits.

Researchers looked at how exercise helps to boost memory, and found that there are literally immediate benefits to your memory function after literally just one bout of exercising.

And to be honest, worse than that is that out of all the things
