Integrating Nature into ESL Lesson Plans on Health

Even in cities, people can benefit by visiting local parks, trying balcony gardening, or taking short mindful walks. These simple steps help lower cortisol (the stress hormone), improve mood, and build mental resilience. These small shifts echo themes from our Sleep & Rest Lesson and Mindful Eating lesson, where learners reflect on daily habits and wellbeing.
