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.
With this in mind, the study shows that exposure to green during childhood decreases the chances of children becoming alcoholics, schizophrenics and suffering from other emotional disorders in adulthood. This finding not only says about caring for the little ones, but corroborates the idea that nature can be a great ally of behavioral therapy.
For those who live in the city , the benefits can be gained indoors. There are a number of species that promote well-being and can be created indoors. Also, nothing prevents you from making trips to mountains and fields during the weekends to secure the benefits.
