Can Waterfalls Make you Happier?

Apparently there is scientific research behind the idea that waterfalls can improve mental health!  The collision of water molecules produce negative ions which interact with our blood stream alleviating depression, relieving stress and boosting our energy!  Being around waterfalls and the ocean are scientifically proven ways to improve our mental being.  This article is the inspiration behind this post and does an amazing job explaining why and how studies show such a positive impact of nature on people.

The article references a study that was done showing that "Researchers found that those who relocated to settings with a higher exposure to nature were noticeably happier during the three year study period." (Sheer) 

This positive energy doesn't only impact children, but adults as well.  Bringing your kids to places like the beach or state parks can foster positive energy and improve relationships with your child!  Give it a try!

Sharing that positive energy with my two best friends!
