Hello Followers,
HAPPY EASTER!
Easter is a religious holiday that includes a bunch of Easter traditions the whole family can enjoy, like getting in on fun Easter egg hunts and opening Easter baskets filled with delicious candy.
And for many, the holiday welcomes a season of great faith, renewed inspiration, and joyous optimism.
Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime. —Martin Luther
The state of Virginia is God’s country and a great place to heal your soul.
Being only a hop, skip and a jump to the Blue Ridge Mountains; nature surrounds us.
So, guess what?
When Dan and I go ahead and give a tree a big old hug, it is not just about feeling all cozy with Mother Nature.
Nope, we are doing our health a solid favor.
We are kicking stress to the curb, getting our blood pressure to chill out, and giving our immune system a nice little pep talk.
And that is not all!
It is a secret weapon against inflammation, a mood booster, and a friend for our emotional health.
Plus, it gets us up and moves and even tucks us in for a better sleep.
Join us as a new adventure for a healthy lifestyle.
So, how about giving the tree hugging a whirl?
You might just be amazed at how much of a difference it makes.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT-
For some of us, hugging a tree may sound weird.
What would people think if they saw me hugging a tree!
Well, like Dan and I have been researching and sharing in the posts this week, if it benefited the person that is looking at you weird; perhaps they would join in with you.
And if they know that naturally hugging a tree would increase their white blood cells, well!
Hugging trees, believe it or not, can give your immune system a big boost by ramping up your white blood cell count.
This is not just a fun activity to get you outdoors; it is a key to unlocking a heap of health benefits, including beefing up your defenses against infections and diseases.
So, by making tree hugging a part of your daily routine, you are not only getting in some quality time with nature, but you are also giving your body’s natural defense system a leg up.
Here is the scoop: white blood cells are super important for fighting off infections.
When you hug trees, it leads to an increase in Natural Killer Cells, those are the ones that really go to town on infections.
Making this regular habit can seriously strengthen your body’s defense mechanisms.
It is all about contributing to your overall health and well-being and supporting a strong immune system.
RECAPPING THE WEEK
When you embrace the tree and celebrate its beauty,
it becomes an even stronger connection with Mother Earth.
Tree hugging is a way to show our appreciation of the natural world around us, and it is also a great way to help keep trees alive, healthy, and strong.
Tree hugging is the art of improving things, especially your mood.
When I feel lost, I go to nature for it is there that
I find myself again and where I hug a tree.
A tree is a treasured gift from nature that you can hug and feel love.
Trees are majestic and magical; they make everyone feel good. Hug your tree today.
The essence of tree-hugging is the belief that trees are not only important to the environment but are just as important to us.
