[时文阅读] Feel down? Hug a tree!
Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress(压力). Although it sounds strange, there's science behind the act of tree - hugging.
The scientist Edward O. Wilson said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans' love for nature is in their DNA. This idea helps to explain why people like natural, green views better than city views. It's also one of the reasons for loving cute pets.
Some scientists do studies to find out why tree - hugging can help with our health. A study reported that the activity can make the level of oxytocin(催产素) rise. It's an important hormone(激素) and it can make a difference to our feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in the level of oxytocin.
Another hormone called cortisol(皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces(产生) more cortisol when the person is anxious, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps cut cortisol production and we will feel better.
Although the activity is helpful to us, it's important to keep in mind that we shouldn't damage nature while doing it. So remember to hug trees softly — just like how you hug a friend!
