不同研究結果皆顯示出，花時間接觸大自然，原來能夠激起並產生生理以至心理的治療效果，促進身心健康，而且這項資源是無窮無盡的。三十多年前，曾經出現有關大自然對住院病人的治療效果研究。到了今天，科學家認為已有足夠證據，證明置身大自然環境或者城市裡的綠色地帶，有助調節心跳率、改善新皮質循環、減低皮質醇及壓力、降低心血管疾病風險，最重要的一點，是可以從根本加強人體免疫系。這些研究也顯示，花時間身處大自然，能夠減低焦慮感及精神倦怠、增強專注力、改善認知功能、甚至有助對抗抑鬱。這些富啟發性的研究結果，至今尚未廣為人知，相信最終能夠促進公共醫護系統徹底轉型。

some of the world's most prestigious institutions who are working to prove that time spent in nature stimulates previously-unknown biological and psychological resources and is an inexhaustible source of well-being. Thirty years after the first study revealed the physiological impact of nature on hospitalized patients, these scientists estimate there's enough proof today to confirm that any immersion in natural environments or urban green spaces helps regulate heartbeat, improve circulation in the neocortex, reduce cortisol and stress, reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, and, best of all, significantly reinforce our natural immune system. Their studies show that regular time spent in nature reduces anxiety and mental fatigue, increases our attention spans, improves our cognitive functions, and can even help fight depression. These illuminating results, still relatively unknown by the public at large, could ultimately lead to a radical transformation of our public health systems.

預告
在瑞典北部達卡臣區的針葉林深處，一隊醫生及科學家深入熊穴，追蹤棕熊。他們要進行一項不可思議的任務，就是在冬眠中的熊身上，抽取血液及其他組織樣本，以進行一系列的醫學測試。目的是要了解這種蹠行動物的驚人能耐，並且希望從中發現能醫治人類疾病的靈丹妙藥。人類社會今天充斥著骨質疏鬆、肌肉萎縮、心臟腎臟衰竭等病症，到底熊的生理特質，會否暗藏了這些現代都市病的治療良方？

In the mists of the Swedish Taiga, near Tackåsen, a team of doctors and scientists are on the tracks of brown bears, following them into their den. They’ve got an incredible mission: taking blood and tissue samples and carrying out a whole host of medical tests on hibernating bears. Their aim? To understand the exceptional resistance these plantigrades have, in order to find a cure for common human health issues. Today, osteoporosis, muscular atrophy, obesity, cardiac and renal deficiency are rife in society. Does the physiology of bears hold unknown therapeutic solutions to these modern-day illnesses?

神秘之地：納莫羅卡（下）
位於馬達加斯加西北部的納莫羅卡是一個一般人難以到達的生態避難所，亦是一個隱藏著很多秘密的地質奇蹟。其鋸齒形懸崖被一個迷人的景緻完全遮蓋，這個秘景被稱為黥基，一個高聳入雲的岩石城堡。在接下來的數星期，二十二名來自法國國家自然歷史博物館的國際研究人員，會嘗試首次探索這片不為人所熟悉的秘境，這裡是生物多樣性的殿堂，一切都有待發現。經過幾日嘗試，任務領隊馬克．根素拿終於建立好大本營。科學家終於可以進入納莫羅卡山巒，途經峽谷同無人踏足過的洞穴，為大量動植物進行物種調查。

Namoroka, an impenetrable sanctuary situated in the Northwest of Madagascar, is a geological marvel that still holds many secrets. Its jagged cliffs give way to fascinating beauty: A stone citadel that reaches for the sky, known as the Tsingy. Over the course of several weeks and on behalf of the French National Museum of Natural History, a team of 22 international researchers attempt to explore the heart of this Terra Incognita for the very first time, a true temple of biodiversity where all is yet to be discovered.After several trying days, Marc Gansuana, the mission’s organizer, is finally able to set up camp. The scientists can now forage in the Namoroka massif to inventory as many animal and plant species as they can find deep within the canyons and most inaccessible caves.

邊個講大話
欺騙屬於人類本性，按估計，我們每天平均說謊達九次之多。那麼，若建造一個不能說謊的世界，又會如何？在歐洲，一群世界頂尖科學家正正為此而聯手，進行一個激進的實驗。
靠著全新科技協助，三位參與實驗的英國人，一旦說謊便會被發現，他們接受挑戰，在一週之內完全不說謊。這個大膽的社會實驗，是要發掘「欺騙」在日常生活中所佔的位置－到底說謊對我們的精神狀態、以至我們各種人際關係，構成甚麼影響呢？而假如我們都再不能夠說謊，這世界會變得更好，還是變得更差？此節目將深入探討。

Deception is an integral part of human nature and it is estimated we all lie up to nine times a day. But what if we created a world in which we couldn't lie? In a radical experiment, pioneering scientists from across Europe have come together to make this happen.
Brand new technology is allowing them to rig three British people to make it impossible for them to lie undetected. Then they will be challenged to live for a whole week without telling a single lie. It is a bold social experiment to discover the role of deception in our lives - to investigate the impact lying has on our mental state and the consequences of it for our relationships, and to ask whether the world would be a better or worse place if we couldn't lie.
