Finland study: Kids exposed often to outdoor plants & dirt get healthier within a year
-
2025 article, but here it is.
Finland study focused on "microbiome" or microbe-exposure benefits to being outside, playing in dirt.
I'd suspect that getting slightly more sunlight could help too. Anyway, lack of outdoors was problem for lots of people in covid lockdown. Not me. I got into woods & fields, unmasked & often. But some people stayed at home, depressed & unhealthy.

It makes sense to me.
