If you spend just 20 minutes a day in a city park, you will feel happier and more satisfied and you don't even need to exercise, according to a new study by American scientists.

The study they conducted shows that city parks allow users to "immerse" themselves in nature, which brings significant physical and mental benefits, such as stress reduction and recovery from mental fatigue.

Even people who are unable to do light exercise due to age or disability benefit greatly from being in city parks.

The results of the research of scientists from the American University of Alabama in Birmingham were published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research.

"The park visitors in the study reported feeling much better physically and mentally after being there," said study leader Hon K. Yuen, adding that he and colleagues found that the participants' level of physical activity was not associated with improved emotional well-being.

The authors of the study say that even people who are unable to do light exercise due to age or disability benefit greatly from staying in city parks.

Feedback from hundreds of respondents led the scientists to conclude that green spaces in urban areas promote emotional well-being and that more parks and green spaces should be created in cities.
