Research in Finland highlighted how children playing in nature-rich environments developed healthier gut microbiomes. One group played in a standard yard, while the experimental group engaged with forest soil, leading to significantly improved microbial diversity.
The study revealed that exposure to natural environments boosts not only microbial diversity but also has the potential to enhance children's immune systems, suggesting that more time spent in green spaces is crucial for overall health.
