Within this group you can discuss your eco-tips, stories and news about eco-health.
We all know the basic recommendations like eating ecological, 6 pieces of fruits/vegetables a day, exercise 30 minutes every day, take the stairs instead of the elevator, don't smoke and only drink alcohol at a moderate level. A very know proverb is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"; however there are more initiatives we can do to ensure a better health. Simple cures can be found in nature for example an interesting fact is that hospital patients heal faster, require shorter stays and fewer painkillers if room windows face trees.
Furthermore, having plants and flowers in your home can help to reduce the effects of central heating, air conditioning and all other appliances that emit gases. Actually, trees have a positive impact on the incidence of asthma, skin cancer and stress related illness by filtering out polluted air, reducing smog formation, shading out solar radiation and by providing an attractive, calming setting for recreation (details here)
What else can we do to live more healthy and ecological?
