Description
July 8, 2026 ~ Lucy Ann Lance is joined by Dr. Peter Graham, Chief Medical Officer at Blue Care Network for this week's A Healthier Michigan! Spending time in nature offers many science-backed benefits. A meta-analysis of 43 studies shows that just a few hours a week outdoors reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and improves mood and sleep. “Forest bathing,” a Japanese practice, also leads to better work performance and reduced cortisol levels.
