Studies show that trees have an extraordinary effect on human health, such as the one conducted by researchersat the University of Chicago, who planted 10 new trees over an area of 8,000 square meters. The result? After a certain period of time, the residents of that area exhibited the same health status as people who were, on average, 7 years younger.

That’s why exercising in places like forests and woods is especially recommended, particularly now that the heat in the city is starting to take its toll and make us all more irritable.

It has been established that when we immerse ourselves in nature, the parasympathetic nervous system—which regulates heart rate, breathing, digestion, and metabolism—is activated.

Dr. Thoma, an expert in forestry and the construction of wooden homes, states: “The biochemical substances that trees exchange with one another are a true elixir of life for us humans.”
When we walk, we absorb these substances through our breath or skin, triggering an immediate sense of well-being that promotes sensuality, relaxation, and vitality.

Yes, but where can you find a forest near you?
You’re sure to find one nearby, and you’ll fall in love with it. Also, keep in mind that most of them feature trails and paths for hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking, so we recommend trying this experience at least once—to leave your stress behind and turn off your cell phone.
Another essential point: you don’t need anything special to enjoy activities in the woods—just the right clothing and water—unless you’re planning a long hike, in which case you’ll also need food.

When it comes to clothing, Oxyburn can obviously provide everything you need, especially during this hot season: breathable, temperature-regulating base layers that will let you enjoy the extraordinary effects that nature and the trees have on you.

Boost your performance and improve your work-life balance simply by walking and soaking up the energy of the trees.

Start focusing on yourself—choose nature, choose to live in harmony and total comfort!
