Doctors Are Prescribing Museums Instead Of Medicine<\/h3>\n

make time<\/strong>: to plan or find a period in your day to do something important, even when you are busy<\/p>\n

In the Swiss city of Neuchatel, doctors have started giving their patients an unusual prescription: museum visits. People struggling with stress, burnout, or long-term illness can now receive free passes to local museums. Instead of more medicine, doctors are offering moments of beauty and calm. The goal is to lift their mood, reduce anxiety, and help them reconnect with the world around them.<\/p>\n

New research from King\u2019s College London supports this approach. In the study, volunteers spent twenty minutes looking at famous paintings by artists such as Van Gogh. Afterward, their stress levels dropped by 22 percent, and their heart rates became steadier. <\/p>\n

Jenny Waldman, Director of the Art Fund, explained, \u201cWe want to encourage everyone to make time<\/strong> to visit their local museum or gallery and experience these powerful effects for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doctors and scientists agree that art can be more than a pleasure for the eyes. It can calm the mind, ease the body, and remind us to slow down in a busy world.<\/p>\n

Sample sentences<\/h5>\n

Even when I\u2019m busy, I always make time<\/strong> for my family at dinner.<\/p>\n

She tries to make time<\/strong> for exercise every morning before work.<\/p>\n

He made time<\/strong> to help his friend move, even though he had a full schedule.<\/p>\n
