A half-hour brisk walk in nature can also help improve your heart health circulation and lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure, according to several studies.
"Office workers often feel more relaxed and happy when they have a view of nature or can spend time outdoors during breaks., Natural surroundings can stimulate creativity and innovation.
Working in or around green spaces can inspire employees to think more clearly and creatively and come up with new, fresh ideas," experts agree.
Lunch walk
Spending time in nature has a restorative effect on the brain. That is why a walk during lunch can directly improve your focus and productivity.
You don’t need to spend your entire lunch break walking. Start with short walks around the block or in a nearby park, and gradually increase your distance as walking becomes a regular part of your routine.
