“My dad is like, ‘Hell, no. Like, no,'” Jack said. “Because my dad’s in that era where, like, men don’t touch diapers. Like, that’s not what dads do.”

He continued, “It’s funny if my kids are at the house and they all want to get into bed and watch TV with my mom, my dad is like, ‘Nope.’ And he like, gets out of the bed and goes. He’s like, ‘No, I’m not doing that.'”

A new study has found that spending time in nature can have a positive impact on mental health. Researchers at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom conducted a study that involved over 20,000 participants. They found that people who spent at least two hours a week in green spaces, such as parks or forests, were more likely to report good health and psychological well-being.

The study also showed that the benefits of spending time in nature were seen across different age groups and socio-economic backgrounds. This suggests that access to green spaces is important for everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

Dr. Mathew White, one of the lead researchers on the study, stated that the results highlight the importance of spending time outdoors for both physical and mental health. He recommended that people should try to incorporate nature into their daily routines, whether it’s going for a walk in the park or simply sitting in a garden.

Overall, the study provides further evidence of the link between nature and mental health, emphasizing the importance of green spaces for overall well-being. So, next time you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, consider taking a break in nature – it may just be the boost your mental health needs.
