Take A Hike!
Family hiking has become a lost
tradition. Families are competing with
social media, video games and the instant gratification of in-home
entertainment. Life time memories and a
healthy life style can be gained by taking up hiking.
WebMD shares that hiking outdoors
has plenty of perks. "Research shows that hiking
has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety," says Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking
Society. "Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget
that.
An active
family is a family that spends time together outdoors, and not just at the
ballpark. A family needs time alone engaging
in open conversation while being physically active. Nothing brings out the inquisitive nature of
a child than walking through nature itself.
Tell
your family to, “Take a hike!"
In a USA Today article, Tammy
York writes that one of her treasured moments was taking a hike with her two
children. She says, "It was better than
any movie they'd seen," York says. "They were so enthralled." Studies have shown that hiking releases body
chemicals, such as serotonin and adrenaline, that result in more positive
thinking.
