Healthy forest air on the Reiterkogel
What is it that makes forest wellness in Saalbach Hinterglemm so important and so healthy? Spending time in the forest increases the number of the body‘s own killer cells (they recognise and destroy altered, potentially harmful to dangerous cells) – by up to 40% after one day in the forest and - provably - for alt least seven days; the number even doubles after two forest days. Just two hours in the forest significantly improves the body’s defences. In addition, the forest converts the CO2 in the air we breathe into pure oxygen making forest air healthier. It helps against various diseases by strengthening other immune cells, and has a positive effect on sleep disorders, depression and cardiovascular disease. Stress hormones reduce their production almost automatically, the power of concentration increases. The forest is a real jack-of-all-trades, and this applies doubly and triply for forest wellness on the Reiterkogel.
