Mud. It seems like a nuisance, doesn't it? As soon as it rains, mud is everywhere, and it literally gets all over everything. There are definitely no benefits this slippery, sticky dirty substance could offer, right?
Wrong.
And the creators of International Mud Day are out to prove it!
After all, mud is quintessential to the outdoors, and the outdoors mean fresh air and exercise, two of the best things for people. And so what if we get a little dirty?
Plenty of research has shown that coming into contact with a certain amount of bacteria is good for us, as it helps build up immunity, as opposed to living in a virtually sterile environment, which makes our bodies very vulnerable. Not to mention how many minerals mud can—there's a reason why people pay hundreds of dollars for mud masks and baths at spas.
So what are you waiting for?
Let's get dirty!
