LET'S GO HIKE, MMM HMMM

Whether you want to just get out of the office, or really go deep into the wild, there are some real benefits to hiking that you might not know about. Research says you can increase happiness and mood.  While walking in general is a definite health benefit, the experts say that getting off the sidewalk and into nature brings about even more bene's than pounding the pavement.  Also, while decreasing anxiety and fighting against depression, hiking also makes your bones more dense, and bone density is even more important the older you get.  The last benefit to hiking that we will highlight today is better sleepy-time-time! Blowing off steam in the woods exposed to all that natural vitamin D away from the blue lights of ever-present screens can pump up your melatonin levels and shift your sleep cycle back into a more natural state.  Well it looks like that settles it.  Get out there and let's go hiking!
