“In Finland, researchers wanted to test a simple idea: what happens to kids’ health if you swap out the pavement, gravel, and plastic in their daycare yards for actual nature?

So, they dug up segments of forest floor and moved them into urban daycare centers. They rolled out grass. They added planter boxes where kids could grow and tend crops, and peat blocks for climbing and digging. Then they waited and ran blood tests.

Within just 28 days, the kids playing in the greened-up yards showed measurable changes. They had more diverse skin microbiota, increased levels of regulatory T cells (the cells that help prevent the immune system from attacking the body itself), higher plasma TGF-β1 levels, and a shift in immune markers associated with better regulation.”

This supports something called the “biodiversity hypothesis,” the idea that growing up surrounded by a rich variety of microbes essentially trains the immune system to behave properly.” https://organicconsumers.org/finnish-daycares-ditched-pavement-for-mud-and-dirt-a-month-later-the-blood-tests-stunned-scientists/?fbclid=IwY2xjawTGIidleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeYryHnq248DL_7zN377ajbGZLa0d4vKa3010uLh8UZdsLoc0wHQRZLMe1Wmo_aem_etWaArImuucZ8JYJNNGnOw
