Imagine a practice so accessible, so effortless, yet powerful enough to reduce anxiety, boost mood, and enhance cognitive function. According to a 2019 study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health , spending just 20 minutes in a natural setting can significantly lower cortisol levels, a biological marker of stress. But what if the timing of these walks could amplify their benefits? Autumn, with its distinct sensory experiences, offers a unique backdrop for mental rejuvenation. The Psychological Impact of Nature Exposure Numerous studies have established that spending time in nature positively affects mental health.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. It's a reminder that the disease is manageable when caught early. Uwais Zaid, MD , a urologist who provides care at OSF HealthCare, is urging men to get screening appointments on their calendar at the right time.

The prostate is a male gland about the size and shape of a walnut. It surrounds the upper part of the urethra, or the tube that carries urine from the bladder. The prostate makes some of the fluid that’s part of semen. Risk factors Dr. Zaid says the risk for prostate cancer increases with age.

September 30th has long been a date marked by remarkable events throughout history, crossing continents and centuries. Backing up to 1966, the Soviet Union launched Luna 11, an unmanned spacecraft designed to orbit the Moon and gather detailed reconnaissance data.

In the realm of arts and culture, 1927 saw the premiere of the classic silent film “Metropolis,” directed by Fritz Lang.
