6 Benefits Of Fresh Air

At Blue Planet Eco-Eyewear, we are all about the outdoors. We have such a beautiful planet with amazing forests, beaches, mountains and deserts. Some times we all forget to take a moment and enjoy this amazing planet we all call home. There are a range of benefits to getting fresh air; it can help you destress and improve your physical and mental well being.  

Regardless of the time of year or state that the world is in, we should always take more advantage of the outdoors. Here are 6 reasons why you should spend time outdoors in the fresh air to improve your well being:

1) Fresh air is good for your digestive system

Fresh air increases the flow of oxygen helping you digest food more effectively so this will particularly help if you are trying to lose weight.

2) Fresh air helps improve blood pressure and heart rate

Avoid polluted environments particularly if you need to improve your blood pressure. Stay away from the busy traffic as the body will need to work harder to get the amount of oxygen it needs over polluted car fumes. 

3) Fresh air makes you happier

The more fresh air you get, the more oxygen you will breathe which will increase the amount of serotonin (the happy hormone) you inhale, consequently making you happier.

4) Fresh air strengthens your immune system

By increasing the amount of fresh air we get, will increase the amount of oxygen which helps our white blood cells function properly by fighting and killing bacteria and germs. 

5) Fresh air cleans your lungs

You lungs dilate more from having an increase of oxygen so fresh air improves the cleansing of your lungs. You release airborne toxins from your body when exhaling through your lungs.

6) Fresh air gives you more energy and a sharper mind

You may have noticed after spending time outside, you come back indoors feeling brighter and perhaps ready to get back to work. More oxygen results in greater brain functioning, improving your concentration skills and providing you with more energy.
