Being in nature can help fight off cancer by exposing individuals to phytoncides-natural compounds released by trees like pines, firs, palms, cedars, and cypresses.
These phytoncides interact with the immune system, boosting the activity and release of natural killer (NK) cells, which are crucial for identifying and destroying cancer cells.
Additionally, the experience of being in a natural environment, not just the chemical exposure, contributes to health benefits.
The visual and sensory engagement with nature reduces stress, enhances mood, and supports overall immune function, creating a holistic effect that promotes cancer defense.
