Best Hiking Boots of Summer 2021
Let’s be honest: There is nothing better than a hiking day-off to re-energize yourself and get your week off to a good start. Hiking is the favorite pastime of many outdoorsmen and women. And hiking is not only a fun, but it can also be beneficial for physical and mental health too. According to the Harvard Medical Journal, as we age many of us are "at higher risk for mood disorders as they age, from dealing with sudden life changes like health issues, the loss of loved ones, and even the new world of retirement," says Dr. Jason Strauss, director of geriatric psychiatry at Harvard-affiliated Cambridge Health Alliance. "They may not want to turn to medication or therapy for help, and for many, interacting with nature is one of the best self-improvement tools they can use."
And you don't have to be an expert hiker, or avid wilderness enthusiast to get the benefits. Even a slow hike, or walk can have major positive effects on your health. Neurologist Faye Begeti, MD, PhD explained to Well + Good, that hiking has very specific benefits that help with mental state, including exposure to natural light, which helps with circadian rhythm, and the calming and creativity-boosting effects that nature has on the mind.
However, starting a new hobby, such as hiking. Or getting out there without the right gear can be a roadblock to getting started. Unsure which gear to buy to get going on your hiking journey?
