Just three to five minutes spent looking at views dominated by trees, flowers or water can begin to reduce anger, anxiety and pain and to
induce relaxation, according to various studies of healthy people that measured physiological changes in blood pressure, muscle tension, or heart and brain

induced their brain cells to glow, or fluoresce, anytime an
electrical impulse was triggered by something the mouse saw.
