Just five minutes of exercise a day in the great outdoors can improve mental health, according to a study released on Saturday, and policymakers should encourage more people to spend time in parks and gardens.

Researchers from the University of Essex found that as little as five minutes of a "green activity" such as walking, gardening, cycling or farming can boost mood and self esteem.

"We believe that there would be a large potential benefit to individuals, society and to the costs of the health service if all groups of people were to self-medicate more with green exercise," Barton said in a statement about the study, which was published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

She may be preparing a case to seek compo when she finds out that the Kodak ink vanishes quicker than chocolate in Wenchy's hands.
May be cheaper per cartridge but perhaps much less ink in each cartridge. whistle:

I recently bought a new Dell laser B&W printer ~ well I didn't buy it. I bought toner from IJT and they gave me a free printer.

I did the same deal 6 months ago on an Ink Jet colour three in one Epson.


I never buy printers and only ever cheap ink. whistle:
