Definitely going outside is required. The gym does not give you the same benefit, imo. Its definitely also about connecting with nature.
Editing now to clarify, thanks!
- pyre 16y agoPet peeves with these types of comments/articles: 1) They are completely anecdotal. "This worked for me, so it applies equally to all 7+ billion humans on this earth!" 2) They assume that everyone lives in the same climate and/or lives in a similar region. e.g. How are you supposed to 'connect with nature and the sun' when you live in Alaska and it's dark 6 months out of the year? How are you supposed to regularly 'connect with nature' when you live in the middle of a metropolis?
- krschultz 16y agoSeriously. Forget alaska, I live in the northeast and this time of year it is dark before I go to work and dark when I get out. And it is mostly gray inbetween. Right now it is borderline freezing and pouring rain out there, I choose the gym over my usual jog this morning. There was no Vitamin D to be had anyway.
- rjurney 16y ago1) Almost all 7 billion humans on earth don't have a problem with not going outside. Just the Hacker News crowd. 2) I'm not assuming anything. Alaskans can snowmobile or dogsled. Stop making excuses and go outside. You will thank me for it.

- pyre 16y agoI already go outside. Stop assuming that you know anything about be just because I'm part of the 'Hacker News crowd.'
