Green prescriptions

Green prescriptions are a unique healthcare initiative where doctors prescribe outdoor physical activities, such as walking, gardening, or cycling, instead of traditional medications for improving health. The goal is to encourage patients to engage with nature and be more active, promoting physical and mental well-being. These prescriptions often include tailored advice on local parks, trails, or community programs to participate in. By connecting people with nature, green prescriptions aim to improve overall health, reduce stress, and foster a sense of community, while addressing chronic health issues like obesity and mental health challenges.
