In Losing Eden, Lucy Jones interweaves her deeply personal story of recovery from addiction and depression, with that of discovering the natural world and how it aided and enlivened her progress, giving her a renewed sense of belonging and purpose. Jones writes of the intersection of science, wellness, and the environment, and reveals that in the last decade, scientists have begun to formulate theories of why people feel better after a walk in the woods and an experience with the natural world. She describes the recent data that supports evidence of biological and neurological responses--the lowering of cortisol (released in response to stress), the boost in cortical attention control that helps us to concentrate and subdues mental fatigue, and the increase in activity in the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing the heart and allowing our body to rest"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Human beings $x Effect of environment on. 650 0 $a Nature $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Nature $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Well-being. 941 $a 12 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011320.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040948.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012314.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024425.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20220906012204.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630012840.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20220510011445.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211130012354.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010315.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210902011035.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210804010412.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210803013840.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1ADF475EF42411EB9533E30756ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
