""A recent study of 20,000 people published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that people who spend at least 120 minutes per week - that’s about 18 minutes a day - in nature are far more likely to report being in good health and having higher psychological well-being, as compared to those who don’t embrace nature. People who spent some time in nature, but fewer than 120 minutes a week, ""were no more likely to report good health or high well-being than those who reported 0 minutes,"" the study authors found.""

Mission Statement: CrowdDoing.world's Foods.& Herbs for Stress,Sleep & Anxiety Initiative aims to give people agency by educating people about their options with regards to their natural remedies for these aspects of their mental health. We do so by analyzing scientific research and clinical evidence, gathering new evidence through data science and citizen science, and recommending to individuals optimal combinations of teas, tinctures, and powders that can be used to achieve each individual's mental health goals. We conduct this research with the goal of allowing people to make informed decisions about their health and to increase access to healthy stress-coping alternatives. These healthy coping mechanisms can reduce reliance on harmful self-medication practices such as alcohol abuse or behavior likely to lead to opioid addiction. Value Proposition: Tinctures, teas and powders from herbal medicine combinations can represent better risk/reward ratios Through citizen science and data science over time we have the aspirational goal to meet and exceed evidence parity with regards to evidence of effectiveness for herbal medicines for stress & anxiety compared with pharmaceuticals. That mission is attractive for people to participate in as its an opportunity for global collaboration to create increasingly usable natural medicine for stress and anxiety. Each person can go upstream of their mental health challenges and adopt healthier coping mechanisms.

Nature Counter./Biophelia Counter
""A recent study of 20,000 people published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that people who spend at least 120 minutes per week - that’s about 18 minutes a day - in nature are far more likely to report being in good health and having higher psychological well-being, as compared to those who don’t embrace nature. People who spent some time in nature, but fewer than 120 minutes a week, ""were no more likely to report good health or high well-being than those who reported 0 minutes,"" the study authors found.""
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-is-the-exact-number-of-minutes-to-spend-in-nature-each-week-for-better-health-2019-06-21
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/13/health/nature-outdoors-health.html
120 Minutes per week in nature is also geo-locateable on phones. Have you gotten your 120 minutes a week at medium edose nature, or 90 minutes a day of high dose nature?
That is determinable by if your smart phone shows you in the park for how many minutes.
We aim to build an app that counts how many minutes in nature each week you have spent and reporting that back to the person. This is like step counts, but based on time in nature as walks through non-parks don’t count for the nature counter.
- Participate in weekly discussions across teams and stakeholders on ways to reach project goals.
Time-based nature benefits-
15 Minutes in Nature
Decrease in pulse rate by 3.9%
Decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.9%
Decrease in diastolic blood pressure by 2.1%
Lower levels of cortisol (stress hormone)
Increased parasympathetic nerve activity and decreased sympathetic nerve activity. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to control respiration, digestion, and heart rate. When you are calm, the parasympathetic nervous system is increased, lowering your heart rate and respiration, and increasing digestion. In a stressful situation, the fight or flight (sympathetic) response is triggered, dilating pupils, increasing heart rate and respiration, which allows you to breathe faster.
Feel more relaxed, yet energized
30 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15 minutes in nature AND
Increased attention span
Reduction in depression symptoms by 7%
Reduction in high blood pressure by 9%
50 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, and 40 minutes in nature AND
An increased attention span with the ability to block out irrelevant stimuli and concentrate
A decreased level of anxiety
120 minutes (2 hours) in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, and 50 minutes in nature AND
An overall sense of well-being and happiness
A better, more restful sleep
150 minutes (2.5 hours) in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, 50, and 120 minutes in nature AND
Reduction in feelings of anxiety
Reduced need to ruminate on past events and focus on the future
200 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, 50, and 120 minutes in nature AND
The feeling of well-being and happiness
Nature benefits we're communicating:
Performance on backwards digit-span (a cognitively demanding task that requires directed attention/requires the person to block out irrelevant stimuli and focus) significantly improved while walking in nature Maintain the focus staring at something on paper better during and after a walk in nature. The ability to focus was not only recuperated by nature, but was even better compared to before going out into nature. A faster and more stable pattern of responding on the Attention Network Task Cognitive performance especially for self-perceived affect was found to improve significantly more after nature interactions compared to urban interactions. Overall, BDS ( backwards digit span) performance improved on average by 0.75 (SD = 2.11) points from pre- to post-nature interactions and 0.29 (SD = 2.19) BDS points from pre- to post urban environment interactions. Reduce the population prevalence of depression and high blood pressure by up to 7% and 9% respectively. A lower rates of depression and of high blood pressure. 3.9% decrease in pulse rate. Systolic blood pressure was lower (1.9% decrease). Diastolic blood pressure was lower (2.1% decrease). good reported health and high subjective wellbeing lower concentrations of cortisol, lower pulse rate, lower blood pressure, greater parasympathetic nerve activity, and lower sympathetic nerve activity walking leads to improved psychological state, reduced state-anxiety and perceived stress
