Feeling blue? the best way to beat it is to go green with eco-therapy. According to research, a walk in a green environment - like a park - helped cut depressive symptoms of subjects by 70 percent. It also has a marked improvement on self esteem.



Researchers say, doctors should be encouraged to recommend an outdoor workout program as a fir line of treatment for sufferers of depression and patients with mental health issues. With the abundance of parks in the UAE, it is easy to get your green fix - both Safa Park and the newly opened Satwa Park have special tartan tracks for walkers and runners.
