Nature gives man everything. What does outdoor recreation give people?
By Dennis Fischer
Today there are not many true corners of nature left. Urbanization and the conquest of nature by man are occurring at a tremendous pace, and soon only inaccessible areas with harsh climatic conditions will remain. New routes and winter roads are being built in the Russian taiga. The highway to Chukotka is a matter of the near future. But the question comes to mind: man has conquered nature, but what has he done for it lately?
Many protected areas have recently appeared in the CIS. But, as before, organizing reserves is a complex matter. Often nature reserves are given the worst locations, while neighboring forestry enterprises maintain excellent forests. It is very difficult for us to make a beautiful forest a protected area; it is much easier to cut it down in half and leave a pile of rubbish. Nowadays, national parks are mainly organized in which logging is allowed and only a small core is created where nature is inviolable. And salaries for employees of the reserve system are among the lowest in Russia.
Recently, a message was circulated online that in Transbaikalia, due to massive deforestation, rivers began to lose navigability.
The balance of nature in the world is disrupted - glaciers are actively melting, water is being used irrationally, forests are being cut down. Reservoirs are made on rivers, which destroy entire ecosystems of riverine plains and form freshwater seas, in which the water often blooms and the already scarce fish die. It turns out that now much, much depends on the person. Why not take concrete steps to restore the nature of our planet?
But it is precisely when nature is completely destroyed that people begin to take action to restore it. Germany is ahead of everyone; concrete steps have been taken there to restore forests and rivers. China has also come to its senses from the total conquest of nature. When I traveled around China, I saw young forests everywhere. Twenty years ago, large tracts of forests were destroyed here. After this, the consequences immediately began: the deserts began to advance at a rapid pace, and even Beijing began to be covered with sandstorms. Now the Chinese are paid money to plant trees. In a short time, many parks appeared in stuffy cities. In Chengdu I saw large trees and was surprised that they had been planted recently. Large trees are brought from the forests on dump trucks, droppers are installed, and after a while a park with old-growth trees appears in the new microdistrict. So in the once deserted mountains, landscaping is also happening on a large scale - thousands of trees are being planted. In the provinces of Xinjiang and Gansu there are loess soils - it is difficult to grow anything here. However, I was surprised when I saw thousands of fields, and next to them there was lifeless land, where there was not a single blade of grass, only dust. All this is grown thanks to fertilizers and is not very useful for the human body, but in conditions of overpopulation we have to resort to such methods. So why not restore forests that will help bring water back? Unfortunately, in the Central Asian regions of China, water is used irrationally, overgrazing by livestock destroys the already sparse vegetation, and deserts are encroaching on new territories.
There are not many successful examples of nature restoration. In the Kherson region of Ukraine there is a small desert called Aleshkovsky Sands. Once upon a time, through the joint efforts of scientists, it was possible to stop the sand dunes and plant this place with forests. And the growth of the desert stopped. This experience can be used to restore other regions. After all, cypress trees once grew green in the Sahara Mountains. Humanity has enough knowledge to solve the problem of desertification, even if it takes several hundred years.
In India, where there is also a large water shortage, local scientists managed to return water to wells. Once upon a time, forests were cut down on the banks of the river, and the area became a desert, and the water in the riverbed disappeared. But local scientists were able to revive this river by replanting forests.
So we should now pay attention to the problem of deforestation. After all, everything will be much more complicated further.
The universe is one. Thanks to the ability to think, a person realizes responsibility for the world around him and himself as a part of this whole. What has nature given to man and how is he responsible for the state of the world around him?
Nature as a natural habitat
Nature is a natural habitat that does not depend on human activity.
This is a set of ecosystems, each of which is determined by the characteristics of the relief, terrain, climate, flora and fauna, precipitation levels and other natural indicators of the state of the habitat.
Man is a part of nature, its product. Thanks to the ability to think and actively influence the world around us, the role of man in nature is not limited to his place in the ecological system. The impact on the environment transforms natural factors to meet the needs of humanity and changes its natural balance, which often leads to the threat and real facts of cataclysms.
The role of man in nature
Man has an active influence on nature in various forms of life activity:
- Development of natural resources. Allows a person to solve issues of energy supply and livelihoods using raw materials.
- Development of new territories. Development of the infrastructure of cities and settlements and expansion of the zone of human presence on different continents.
- Development of production. Processing of raw materials and problems of waste disposal have a significant impact on the ecology of the surrounding world.
In the process of using energy, territories of everything that nature gives to modern man, the negative prognosis from the consequences of active human influence is not always sufficiently calculated. In this case, a number of problems arise that pose a threat to nature.
modern world
All the wealth of the surrounding world that nature has given to man has been mercilessly used in the history of the development of human civilization. This process is carried out especially actively these days, using industrial production technologies.
As a result of the consumer attitude towards natural resources, modern ecologists identify the following problems on a global scale.
- Surface pollution and landscape changes. It affects the state of climatic zones, provokes disturbances in the balance of the system, and the extinction of animal species.
- Destruction of the ozone layer. Result in exceeding permissible levels of ultraviolet radiation.
- Changes in the state of the world's oceans. This system is a universal regulator of natural phenomena. Creates a threat of imbalance in the world's ocean ecosystem.
- Reduction of mineral resources. It entails a shortage of raw materials, on the extraction of which humanity’s life support systems depend, and provokes a change in the structure of the earth’s crust.
- Extermination of plant and animal species. Leads to an imbalance in the ecosystem.
- Forest reduction. Poses a threat to the atmosphere.
All problems are interconnected and ultimately lead to the threat of self-destruction of humanity.
Ways to restore harmony between nature and man
The consequences of consumer attitudes towards nature are not encouraging. In this case, you need to look at man again from the position of the rational principle in nature.
The natural way to solve problems is to return everything that nature has given to man. Is this possible in the present situation?
First of all, it is necessary to change the nature of interaction with nature and move from excessive consumer-technocratic use of its resources to rational interaction.
- Restoration of forest areas. Through the implementation of government programs, it is possible to completely restore the green park.
- Recovery A program is currently being developed to solve the problem at the level of interstate integration.
- The energy supply to humanity must be carried out through new methods and the development of new energy sources (nuclear, solar).
- Joining efforts at the global level and creating principles for the rational use of natural resources.
Ecological perspective
It's hard to overestimate since it is the condition and possibility of its existence. Therefore, the only expedient solution to all problems is to change a person’s self-awareness.
Solving the problem at the global level does not only mean uniting world communities at the state level. The most important factor is the introduction of disciplines into the systems of preschool and school education in order to form a worldview for active participation in the conservation of natural resources. Only with a large-scale approach is it possible not only to save, but also to compensate for everything that nature has given to man.
After a long winter, when the first truly warm sun of the year peeks out from behind the clouds, each of us is drawn to bask in its rays. This becomes especially relevant for city residents, because the high-rise buildings of the concrete jungle allow so little sunlight to reach people yearning for warmth. What does nature give people? It allows you to change your surroundings, calm your nerves, organize your thoughts, play sports in the fresh air and much more that is inaccessible to city residents.
Are you working productively? Rest properly!
It’s great when a person sincerely loves his job and devotes a lot of time to it, be it sitting in an office at a computer, giving lectures at an institute, or standing behind a store counter. This is the key to success in life. But your career shouldn't take up all your time. Productivity will decline if you don't get proper rest. Even the most beloved job will cease to please you if physical and moral fatigue becomes your constant companion. Overwork can lead to health problems and psychological discomfort, which will affect the quality of life. Most of us are familiar with the situation when, after an active day of work, the brain does not want to succumb to the power of Morpheus, although the body requires rest. How can a workaholic avoid problems with sleep and health, maintain psychological balance and comfort in the family? If you work productively, you must rest properly.
Nature as medicine
Modern people, when going on vacation, give preference to popular resorts, luxury hotels, and comfortable boarding houses. They repeat their daily lifestyle, which is replete with the benefits of civilization. But television, the Internet, open-air cinemas and even books will not give you what a person who works a lot needs during rest - intellectual peace, protection from the flow of modern information. If you want to truly relax and unwind, then radically change your surroundings. Leave your tablet and laptop at home and go outdoors. Even a short picnic with friends, arranged under the first warm rays of the April sun, without social networks, karaoke and fancy cocktails, will give your brain and body a positive charge. A change of activity is the best rest for an overworked body.
Do you have a sedentary job? Lack of physical activity? Take a bike ride outside the city. In the summer, take a tent and relax with your family, friends or loved one, “savages”, with a fire and a guitar in the evenings, badminton, swimming in the river or stake. Have you always dreamed of doing yoga or running? Go out into nature periodically. Fresh air, free space, absence of crowds, houses, cars and gas pollution are excellent conditions for a variety of physical, spiritual and mental practices.
Do you like comfort?
If you are one of those who cannot relax as a “savage”, but are only exhausted without a shower, a comfortable bed and a store within easy reach, do not despair! You can tune in to the same wavelength with nature even if you are in comfortable conditions. Even if you are in a nice boarding house or hotel, get outside more often. Try to spend as many hours indoors as necessary for eating, sleeping and hygiene procedures. Spend most of your time outdoors. Swim, climb mountains, walk along the shore and listen, breathe nature. Let her transfer her energy to you, and you will return to work with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

In a person’s life, everything should be correct and measured. It’s not for nothing that they say that a person’s home is his fortress. At home, a person should feel cozy and comfortable, fully rest after a difficult day. It is a positive home environment that gives a person a charge of positive emotions for the whole day. If everything at home is burdensome and annoying, then we cannot talk about proper rest at home, comfort. No matter how much you would like to, you have to admit that a good rest continues life and gives beauty and youth. Many people noticed that even after sleeping for half a day they woke up depressed and overwhelmed. The thing is that positive energy circulates not only in the human body, it permeates the entire space with its thin threads. So, if there are often quarrels and misunderstandings in the house, negative energy spills out into the external environment and does not leave the house. And it’s constantly pumping up. Often, sensing something is wrong, the owners of such a house turn to the church for help, so that the clergy cleanse the home of negative energy.
But when turning to the church for help, people don’t even think that they themselves are the culprits of all the troubles. Negative thoughts and attitudes hinder the entire development of life. It is impossible to constantly think about bad things and not get sick. Scientists have long established that human thoughts have the ability to materialize. Thus, all the attitudes that a person gives himself will sooner or later come true. Of course, it will be better if these attitudes are positive and bring only joy and light. But how can you enjoy life if constant problems have accumulated in your head, in your home, at work, in your relationship with your significant other?
In order to harmonize relationships in the home and improve all areas of life, it is enough to free the flow of energy in the house and allow it to circulate. There is a simple science for this, which Eastern people have been using for quite a long time - this is Feng Shui. Feng Shui has been known in Europe for a dozen years, but so far it is treated as a luxury, and not an everyday necessity. The entire teaching is based on the fact that thanks to the division of housing into zones for recreation, work, harmony and health and the correct arrangement of furniture and household items in them, the effect of constant circulation of energy is achieved. It does not stagnate, but is constantly updated.
Of course, the accumulated negative energy can lead to nervous diseases of those who live in such housing, but the fact is that with the help of prayers and the right positive attitudes, a person is able to restore harmony within himself and his home. Feng Shui allows not only to balance a person’s state of mind, but also helps to cure many diseases, since it is known that the human body is capable of self-healing. Among other things, Feng Shui attaches great importance to details; every item in the room should be in its place. You shouldn’t accumulate a lot of old things; they store remnants of energy, which stagnate and prevents new things from coming into life. You need to easily part with the past and joyfully enter the future.
Feng Shui attaches particular importance to luxury items; it is believed that jewelry attracts prosperity and wealth. Gold products fill your home with solar energy and stimulate the flow of joy and prosperity into your home. They should be given special places, preferably in the center of the room or close to it, so that the energy circulates around the golden object.
Of course, having a piece of gold furniture in your home is a great luxury, but almost every woman has a small ring or earrings made of gold. Scientists have proven that not only admiring gold objects is good for your overall health, it is also good to wear them every day. Gold is a metal that can defeat many diseases and give the body youth and prosperity to its owner. Since time immemorial, alchemists have wanted to find a recipe for making gold from any object. Ancient manuscripts contain information about the philosopher's stone, which was supposedly capable of granting eternal life.
Of course, a person will not be able to live forever, even wearing dozens of gold jewelry, but he can help his body cope with many diseases with the help of gold. To do this, you should use golden water. As science knows, any metal, when heated, releases its ions into the liquid. They can be both beneficial to the human body and harmful. In any case, the fact remains that if you make the so-called golden water and use it several times a week, then many chronic diseases will recede.
To prepare a healing drink, you will need a small gold object and a little patience; the gold must literally be boiled, after which the resulting ionized water is cooled and used as a facial skin care product and a rejuvenating elixir. It is important to remember that you should not expect an immediate effect from the rejuvenation procedure using golden water, because the body must recover. And if a health problem has been brewing for several years, by what miracle will it be solved in a couple of sessions?
Many bioenergeticists insist on the use of gold jewelry in the treatment of many mental illnesses. The fact is that in people with mental disorders the frequency of oscillations of the biofield is disturbed, and gold evens out this frequency and the person becomes calmer, more restrained, and balanced. Many precious metals and stones have healing effects on the human body. In terms of usefulness for humans, they are in no way inferior to medicinal plants.
One of the most beneficial plants for humans is the ginkgo biloba plant. It began to be used not so long ago in Europe, first by naturopathy doctors, and then by traditional medicine. Conducting scientific research, doctors were stunned, since the consumption of ginkgo raw materials by humans over a long period restored the vascular system, heart rhythm, and its structure. While taking the drug, Alzheimer's disease subsided, blood pressure leveled out, memory, attention, and concentration improved. Normalization of sleep was observed even in patients with severe mental disorders.
In addition, ginkgo gives youth and freshness to human skin. This drug is practically indispensable for people with increased mental activity and constant psychological stress. You can and should use it constantly; there is no addiction to it, because it is a herbal preparation that has no contraindications.
Nature has given man many means and ways to improve his life and extend it for as long as possible. But humanity, which once lost all knowledge, is restoring it bit by bit. Nature can provide answers to almost any question of humanity, it stores untold riches of beauty, health, well-being, the most important thing for a person is not to break this subtle connection with nature and restore your body naturally, with the help of herbs, metals, stones, energies Moon and Sun.

– this is the entire material world of the Universe, organic and inorganic. But in everyday life, another definition is more often used, in which nature means the natural habitat, i.e. everything that was created without human intervention. Throughout their existence, people have often become the culprits of environmental changes. But the role of nature in people’s lives is also colossal, and it cannot be underestimated.
Habitat
Man is a part of nature, he “grows” from it and exists in it. A certain atmospheric pressure, earth temperature, water with salts dissolved in it, oxygen - all this is the natural state of the planet, which is optimal for humans. It is enough to remove one of the “designer” elements, and the consequences will be disastrous. And any change in nature can cause dramatic changes in the life of all humanity. That is why the statement that nature can exist without man, but man cannot exist without it, is especially relevant.
The main source of consumer goods
Luxury goods are created by people, but we satisfy our primary needs at the expense of nature. It is the world around us that gives us everything we need for existence: air, food, protection, resources. Natural resources are involved in many areas: construction, agriculture, food industry.
We no longer live in caves, but prefer comfortable houses. Before we eat what grows on the earth, we process and cook it. We do not cover ourselves with animal skins, but sew clothes from fabrics obtained by processing natural materials. Undoubtedly, man transforms and improves much of what the planet gives for a comfortable life. Despite all its power, humanity will not be able to develop outside of nature and without the base that it provides us. Even in space, beyond the Earth, people have to use recycled natural goods.
- This is a huge hospital that can cure various ailments. Numerous medicines and cosmetics have been developed based on plants. Often, resources are used in almost their original form to improve health, for example in herbal medicine, hydrotherapy and mud therapy.
Human dependence on natural conditions
For many years, under the influence of climate, topography, and resources, customs, activities, aesthetic views and the character of the population of a particular country were formed. We can safely say that the role of nature underlies many social processes. Even a person's appearance depends on the region from which his ancestors came.
The health of many people depends on weather conditions. Well-being and emotional state may change depending on the phases of the moon, solar activity, magnetic storms and other phenomena. The level of air pollution, its humidity, temperature, oxygen concentration - all this can also affect a person’s well-being. For example, city residents, after relaxing by the river, note an improvement in their physical and psychological condition.
Cities with over a million people, modern cars, the latest technologies - looking at all this, it seems that man has learned to successfully exist outside of nature. In fact, humanity still depends on conditions that it cannot change. For example, its economy depends on the quantity and condition of natural resources on the territory of a state. Weather conditions determine the characteristics of the buildings of a settlement and living conditions. Such a variety of national cuisines arose as a result of the climatic characteristics of the regions, as well as the flora and fauna.
Aesthetic and scientific significance
Nature acts as a source of a wide variety of information that helps build relationships with the outside world. Thanks to the data that the planet stores, we can know who inhabited the Earth thousands and millions of years ago. Today we can, if not prevent natural disasters, then at least protect ourselves from them. And man has even learned to direct some phenomena to his advantage. and human learning. The child is introduced to the world around him, taught to protect, preserve and ennoble it. Without this, no educational process is possible.
The importance of nature in cultural life cannot be ignored. We contemplate, admire, enjoy. It is a source of inspiration for writers, artists and musicians. This is what artists have sung and will continue to sang in their creations. Many are sure that the beauty and harmony of nature even has a healing effect on the body. Although the spiritual component is not the first necessity for the life of the population, it plays a vital role in the life of society.
