The last bit is the most important bit. One, outdoor environments in general lower stress. We know this. This is well-established in positive psychology. A 20-minute walk in the woods will outperform most SSRIs for treatment of depression. I can talk about why if you care, but we know that. Good for you, lowers stress.

So in itself, being in nature is anti-inflammatory, so it's better for healthy aging. But if you want to preserve brain function, how do you do that? You want to birth new neurons and turn those new neurons into neural nets. That's learning. So the adult brain, contrary to what we used to believe for a long time, it actually does continue to birth new neurons.

In fact, the adult brain will birth about 700 new neurons a day, even basically until you die. But where do those neurons show up is the key question. They show up in a part of the brain known as the hippocampus. The hippocampus does two things. It does long-term memory and it does location, place. It's packed with place cells and grid cells. Why? We evolved as hunter-gatherers.
