This is because Japanese people are the people of the forest. 70% of our land is covered by mountains or forests and we have built a strong bond with nature over the course of our history. The Japanese culture is very much influenced by nature. So when we bio-hack ourselves, we value natural processes, and we try not to do anything unnatural such as relying too much on technology.

Nagano Prefecture is the longest living prefecture in Japan now, and it is one of the most mountainous regions in Japan. People spend a lot of time in the forest and they do Shinrinyoku in their daily life.

reduces stress hormones
activates parasympathetic nerves system
suppresses sympathetic nerves system
decreases blood pressure
increases protein
boosts up the immune system
