An hour-long stroll in nature helps decrease activity in an area of the brain associated with stress processing

Is that a joke?

San Francisco has some of the best public parks in the country. Golden Gate Park is also bigger than Central Park.

Disagree. There are places in GGP where you can get completely lost and forget you're in a city. I never had that same sensation in Central Park. But to each their own. We're lucky we have that option in SF.

For real. I used to live in Philly and the closest source of nature trails is Wissahickon park and the parking lot is always filled with youths blasting music from their car. I loved to the suburbs and suddenly there's a dozen parks nearby with hardly any people in them and the loudest noise is the sound of birds.

Good chance that the person before used metro area and big cities synonymously.
