Outdoor Bacteria Can Make You Smarter, and Happier
Getting some outdoor time is not only good for the soul, it's probably good for the mind. Research from The Sage Colleges in Troy, New York, suggests that exposure to a natural soil bacterium called Mycobacterium vaccae can increase learning behavior. Another reason to enjoy, and protect, the great outdoors. If you see a mouse or two the next time you're outside, tell them thanks for the information. For this study, mice had to navigate a maze.

5 Creative Ways to Connect Our Kids (And Yourself) to Nature
© Getty Images This is a guest post from Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle: Reconnecting to Life in a Virtual World and Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. A recent study found that preschool children aren't getting enough time outdoors. Almost 50 percent of 3-to 5-year-olds studied weren't taken outside everyday. There are many factors that contribute to these sad findings, but parents and educators can, and should, find ways to incorporate play time in a child's life.
