Hikes!
As summer is fast approaching, the weather is getting warmer and being outside starts sounding better. Being outside is good for us because it improves our mental and physical health. The sun is a great provider of Vitamin D but also serotonin, which makes us happy and allows us to keep our mental health in check. The outdoors inspire being active while taking on some cool views. The city of Los Angeles has some of the best mountain hikes! Hiking improves cardiorespiratory fitness, lower risk of blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, and lowers the risk of coronary heart disease.
