Fresh air can change more than you think. Even ten minutes outside can help clear your head, lift your mood, and ease tension in your body. You don’t need to walk far — just stepping outside, sitting on a bench, or opening a window can bring in that gentle shift. The light, the breeze, the sounds of nature — all of it reminds your body and mind to relax. Fresh air helps you sleep better, feel more awake during the day, and stay connected to the world around you. For many older adults, going outside becomes less frequent over time — but the benefits don’t go away. Try making it part of your routine, even if it’s small. A few minutes in the morning, a bit of time after lunch — whatever works for you. It’s a simple gift that costs nothing, and your body will thank you for it.
