NATURE, GROUNDING & THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD• - A while back, I released an episode of the Huberman Lab Podcast which was a “Foundational Fitness Protocol” for immediate and long term health. It is essentially three days a week of resistance training, and three days, a week of cardiovascular training, and one day a week of dedicated deliberate cold and heat exposure. (You can find all the details for zero cost at hubermanlab.com. Just simply search “optimal fitness protocol”. We also have a zero cost newsletter that summarizes it: see the menu tab; newsletter). - In the protocol, I describe one of the most important parts of my week is to get outside on Sunday and move as much as possible *in nature*. Sometimes that’s a run, sometimes it’s a hike sometimes that’s a ruck. Sometimes I do that alone, sometimes I do that with people. - The point is to get outside into nature and move, weather permitting. - Many people have asked me about practices like grounding, or forest bathing, etc. They have also asked about negative ions and their role in human health. As I explain in this post, there are some studies exploring nature effects on various aspects of health ranging from blood pressure to mood, etc. HOWEVER, it’s very hard to control all the variables when exploring the role of say, “grounding”. So I wouldn’t wait for a clinical trial. That said, I think everyone intuitively understands the value of getting into nature. So do it whenever you can. - Meanwhile, please put any questions you have in the comments section below this post, and as always, thank you for your interest in science! - @hubermanlab @stanford.med @stanford @nihgov @nimhgov @societyforneuroscience @cellpress - #neuroscience #science #neurosciencia #ciencia #brain #neuroplasticity #nature #grounding #scientificmethod #protocols #variables #cardio #connect
