*So...What IS the 3 Day Effect ?

Studies show that the "3- Day Effect" refers to the mental and emotional benefits people experience after spending three consecutive days in nature or engaging in outdoor adventures. Research indicates that after this period, individuals exhibit reduced stress, improved focus, enhanced creativity, and greater emotional well-being. You will be away from excess blue screen light too which will help reset your cortisol and melotonin levels.
