Blog 2

For my 2nd blog i have chosen the topic:

"What are the psychological effects of exposure to natural environments?"

I think this topic will be interesting and also practical for people's future use in order to get the maximum mental health benefits out of their natural environment. I have started brainstorming ideas on what I could focus on and the things that have come to mind so far are:

* Exposure to sunlight - link with depression

* Effect of environmental toxins such as pollution on mental health

* Effect of processed and natural food compared with organic (naturally) produced foods on psychological well-being

These are just a few ideas to get me started. If there is any major things you think I have missed, please feel free to comment.
