I did a stint in a mountain house about a hundred miles away where I used to spend a lot of time when I was a teenager. Forests and a river. It was for one week, I took one book with me (Smirnov's "A Course of Higher Mathematics - VOL I").
All I have to say is that after one week I came back and people hardly recognized me. My skin tone changed, my face became lively, I regained my weight because I didn't skip meals, I slept early because I'd be sleepy early, I woke up early and fully rested (the best sleep quality I had in years), I did maths all day long lying on the grass in the shade of trees, and hiked to the river or ran across tall grass to stretch my legs.
The ability to think without interruptions, not because I was fending them off taking extra measures but because there truly were none, is what really did it for me.
This sounds amazing. For me, this environment, my diabetes is really under control. My weight is consistent. I eat way structured, well balanced meals. I can't rave enough about living this way.
