College Students Can Eliminate Stress By Spending Just 10 Minutes Outdoors 大学生只需在户外花10分钟,就能缓解压力 College can be a very stressful time for young adults, and this can be very taxing on their mental health. Fortunately there is a very accessible remedy for this stress — nature. Recent research shows that spending as little as 10 minutes in a natural setting can help relieve students of their college stress. 对于年轻人来说,大学是一段压力很大的时期,这对他们的心理健康并不好。幸运的是,有一种很容易缓解这种压力的方法——大自然。最近的研究表明,只要在自然环境中待上10分钟,就可以帮助学生缓解在大学中的压力。 The review from Cornell University evaluates numerous studies on nature’s effects on the mental health of college students to find an effective “nature prescription” for students. 康奈尔大学的这一综述文章评估了大量关于大自然对大学生心理健康影响的研究,目的是为学生找到一种有效的“大自然处方”。 “It doesn’t take much time for the positive benefits to kick in — we’re talking 10 minutes outside in a space with nature,” says lead author Gen Meredith, associate director of the Master of Public Health Program and lecturer at the College of Veterinary Medicine, in a media release. “We firmly believe that every student, no matter what subject or how high their workload, has that much discretionary time each day, or at least a few times per week.” |
