How Hiking helps people socialise <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hiking is the perfect perfect place for socialising It\u2019s surprising how quickly a group of people bond when they spend time together outdoors. But what is it about nature that creates this sense of community and friendship? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking side by side you\u2019ve not got that judgement or expectation – or taboos around topics There\u2019s a feeling of what is said in the mountains stays in the mountains. you go up the hill as strangers and come down as friends .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as being out in nature is different to everyday life where we are cast into constrained social roles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

I think when you’re out in nature, in a more neutral environment, these roles begin to fade away, and there’s less pressure to stick up to the social norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking can also help with your mental health or any Exercise in any shape or form can make you better. This is called lifting your serotonin levels, which helps you feel more emotionally stable and calmer, which is why a lot of people who suffer from depression are often prescribed exercise to raise their serotonin levels so by going for a Hike even if it is only for 10 to 20 minutes as I promise you by the end of that Hike you will feel so much calmer and relaxed than you did at the start of your Hike. Hiking is much more efficient and affective to keep your emotions in check than any medication a doctor could give you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Nature Valley Bars are the perfect snack for Hiking <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nature Valley bars are the perfect snack for Hiking as they are small and easy to stuff in your pocket<\/strong>. A packet of chips, for example, is bulkier and will get crushed in your backpack. They\u2019re also long-lasting. It might be tempting to hike with packs of string cheese and chocolate, but when\u00a0your tent\u00a0and\u00a0backpack\u00a0are sweating under the midday sun, these melt and taste funky pretty quickly, while Nature Valley Bars will stay fresh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other reason is nutritional value. An Nature Valley bar packed with fruits, seeds, and nuts provides many more nutrients than a packet of sweets. They are also an impressive average of 126.7 calories-per-ounce these widely available snacks are a great solution for trips where you need to balance a tight budget against the need for a large quantity. The main reason you should eat Nature Valley Bars when Hiking is that unlike other protein bars you don’t have a sugar crash as Nature Valley doesn’t use ingredients such as caffeine or sugar alcohol’s but instead is made with ingredients such as honey berries and chocolate yet it still gives you the energy to go for a 4 hour or more Hike without feeling the effects of a sugar crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
