A bit like the longer- term benefits of spending time in green spaces.”The TV star concluded: “Our overall health is so much more than just physical/how we look.“The brain, gut, mental and physical health are all linked - what we eat, how we move, what we think, our environment...all play a significant role in our health.“Happy Monday everyone.
