Well, hello there, are listeners and welcome back.

My name is Stephanie Safarian and you're listening to episode 464 of sustainable minimalists. This is a listener-supported show about intentional and eco-friendly

minimalist living. On today's show, we are discussing the benefits of that outdoor walk. So we know walking is good

for our health, but why? Today specifically we're getting into the research backed, keyword research backed, benefits of getting outside.

What is it about trees?

What is it about nature sounds?

What is it about dirt that is so profoundly healthy and rejuvenating for us as human beings.

That's what we're discussing today here to help me unpack this gigantic issue is Annabel Abbs Streets. She's the author of many books, but specifically today we are discussing her book 52 ways to walk the surprising science of

walking for wellness and joy one week at a time and I say, a listener to this show suggested I read this book,

and holy moly I loved every minute of it.

Annabelle, I'm so thrilled to have you on the show.

How are you?
