Para.1

There is a new field of medicine that might sound too good to be true . The therapy can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mood, help with sleep and even enhance the immune system, yet there are no pills involved and no side effects. This medical field is called forest medicine, based on the practice of shinrin-yoku, a Japanese phrase that translates to “forest bathing.” Forest bathing is not physical exercise, but rather a form of relaxation while experiencing the forest through all five senses.

有一个新兴的医学领域，听起来似乎好得难以置信。这种疗法能够减轻压力、降低血压、改善心情、帮助入眠，甚至增强免疫系统，但它不需要任何药物，也没有副作用。这一医学领域被称为“森林医学”，根据日语短语“森林浴”而来。森林浴不是体育锻炼，而是通过五官来感受森林从而放松心情的一种方式。

1. too good to be true 难以置信

Para.2

The idea that being in nature can be therapeutic is not new, but it was only in the last two decades that researchers began documenting the health benefits of forest immersion . Qing Li, a physician and professor at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, is widely regarded as a founder of the field of forest medicine. He and his colleagues have authored dozens of peer-reviewed papers demonstrating the health benefits of forest therapy.

One meta-analysis of 20 clinical trials found that forest bathing can reduce blood pressure, in some cases with effects on par with antihypertensive agents. Other studies revealed that the practice decreases hormones implicated in metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. Forest bathing has also been shown to lower anxiety and reduce depressive symptoms, and there is also data associating forest immersion to higher levels of anticancer proteins.

一项涵盖20项临床试验的荟萃分析发现，森林浴能降低血压，在某些病例中甚至能与降压药的效果相媲美。其他研究发现，这种做法能够减少与代谢性疾病如肥胖和糖尿病有关的激素水平。研究还表明森林浴能够降低焦虑情绪、减轻抑郁症状，此外还有数据显示森林浴与更高水平的抗癌蛋白有关。
