According to the research conducted by Environmental Health Perspectives, it has been revealed that women who live around plants live longer. According to researchers, green areas encourage people’s physical and social activities, so stress rates are lower. Living among trees not only lowers depression rates, but also improves mental health.
Less risk of developing diseases
Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital research from 2000 to 2008 108,630 women’s data was used. The lifespan of the women was taken into account by measuring the plant density close to their homes.
It was determined that the risk of death of women living in areas with more green areas was 12% less than women living in areas with less green areas. Women living close to nature were 34% less likely to have fatal respiratory diseases and 13% less likely to get cancer. Women living in nature are more distant from problems such as air pollution, extreme heat and environmental pollution.
