Spend Some Time Outside Every Day

In this week's challenge you must Spend some time outside every day. Most of us these days live a fast-paced, technology-packed lifestyle. Between work, the commute, taking care of the kids, cooking and cleaning, watching television, connecting on social media, and more, we're spending an average of 90 percent of our time indoors. That would of been nearly unheard of a mere 50 years ago. Unfortunately, all this indoor time is having a negative impact on our health- and on our children's health. It's time we unplugged and stepped outside. Nature offers one of the most reliable boosts to your mental and physical well-being. Here are just a few potential benefits:

Benefits from being outside

Improved short-term memory

Restored mental energy

Stress relief

Reduced inflammation

Better vision

Improved concentration

Sharper thinking and creativity
