In June, four teenage girls from Minnesota, US, went camping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. They had a great time – even without their smartphones.

Julia Ruelle, 16, put the group together. Earlier this year, she won an essay contest held by a company. The award was a five-day camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. This award was supposed to encourage kids to be less dependent on their smartphones.

Ruelle had been to the area before, but she had always gone with her parents. Sharing the experience with friends would be very different. She invited three friends: Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson, and Julianna Torelli.

They came up with a daily plan. “We would wake up early every day. We were done paddling by noon. We ate lunch at the camp. Then it was time for hammocks , reading, writing, making friendship bracelets, talking and napping,” Ruelle said.

“I’m a lot less worried about things,” Wander said when asking how she felt without her cellphone. Her favorite thing to do was to lie in her hammock and look at the lake. Torelli enjoyed cooking. She made blueberry pancakes and sandwiches.

No one felt hungry or homesick. “Mental health can be improved so much. It really helps to get away your smartphones and return to nature.” Ruelle said.

D. Using smartphones less can improve our mental health.

Being in a car, train, boat or plane makes conflicting signals in the brain which causes an action similar to something that happens when someone is poisoned. Dr Dean Burnett, from Cardiff University, said the feeling of sickness is caused because the brain thinks the body needs to remove a toxin through vomiting . But in fact, the “poisoning”effect is caused by the mixed messages-- for the muscles , they tell the brain the body is motionless, but for the ears, they got the feeling that the body has some movement.

Dr Dean Burnett explained that reading in a car made the feeling of travel sickness worse, because the eyes were focused on a small, motionless space and gave the brain no information to explain that the body was moving.

The feeling of sickness could be weakened by looking out of a car window because this showed the brain that movement was taking place. “You can see the passage and movement itself, and that balances the system,” he said. “The brain’s going: ‘Oh, look, things are moving--I must be moving’--and then it calms down the sickness.”

Dr Burnett said there was no clear reason why some people suffered from car sickness more than others. But he said there were several other aspects of modern life with which the brain had not yet recognized or understood.
