PEOPLE WHO GROW UP IN NATURE ARE 55% LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP MENTAL ILLNESS
Living in contact with nature is a luxury these days. In addition to the visual benefits, the lifestyle next to green provides better air quality and, of breaking, brings physical benefits to the body. Going beyond expected, a study published in the journal PNAS noted closely how children living in areas with dense vegetation are healthier. The results show that small plant lovers have a 55% lower risk of developing mental illness during their lifetime.
Conducted by researchers at the Aarhus University in Denmark, it is the largest research on the relationship between nature and mental health . Data on the life of almost one million Danes were used, taking into account several variables that could lead to a mental disorder, such as income and family history.
