Mental health & overall wellbeing

In a recent study by the Binghamton State University of New York, researchers highlight the main influences of the summer season on one's mental health & overall wellbeing. With the ability to sleep in and the minimum workload one endures, the sunny season is proven to boost a person's mental, physical, and emotional health. This boost in well-being has several other factors that also come into play. The longer days, warmer weather, and freshly grown produce benefit diet and physical health too. Due to the upgrade in the quality of crops and farmers market produce, research shows a noticeable change in the physical health of many. Varieties like Malabar Spinach and New Zealand Spinach especially thrive in the heat. Subsequently, the season also brings out a more physical and active side to people, which is essential in order to approach overall well-being. Outdoor activities like football, tennis, or even long walks in the neighbourhood are shown to boost morale. Furthermore, engaging in these activities with close friends or family will bring out better results Recent interviews tell us that being able to socialize with chosen people influences one's happiness and mental health. When exposed to a toxic work or school environment, it is no secret that this likely factors in and plays a major role on well-being. The summer season, especially for students, is a breath of fresh air in several ways-- one of them being the liberty to expose yourself to a chosen, favourable environment. Positive changes, not limited to the ones mentioned, can be incorporated as part of one's lifestyle. Every small change largely impacts happiness and contentment.
