Why are walks in nature important? Because the rustling of leaves and sing-song of birds lower cortisol: otherwise known as the stress hormone. Research also shows that physical activity can boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy.
Our summer activities group decided to put this to the test by making the most of Aberdeen's parks. Here are a few pics, to show you the fun they had.
