Living in the green apparently extends the life : above all to the women . In fact, the American living outside the major urban centers, in the middle of the nature – according to research of the ‘T.H. Chan School of Public Health Harvard ‘- live longer than those which live in the city. Several factors that affect: better mental health, thanks to lower levels of depression, more opportunities for social engagement, less exposure to polluted air, food much healthier and more physical activity.
About live in nature has a lower mortality rate
in the space of eight years was analyzed the health status of about one hundred thousand women. While studying very interesting data have emerged: for example, the death rate from respiratory diseases is less than 34% in those who live nature , while that related to cancer drops by 13%. “We know that living in the middle of the green after the plants and grow vegetables helps the environment, this is nothing new, but our study shows that the benefits do not stop on the environment – says researcher Peter James – but also on the health “. Sure, it’s easier said than done: not everyone has the opportunity to live in places where nature predominates , even if maybe they wish so much; others could never do without the chaos of the city, in a tree do not see anything special in a flowers either. The house – maybe rich in technological comfort – it’s just a comfortable haven for when they are not engaged in work or in a thousand other activities, no matter how decorated, where is located, or what they see their eyes when they open a window: a panorama or the other.
Some people would like to live elsewhere but can not
Others, on the contrary, they would like to get away from the city if they could: they live in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction, who do not find a logical explanation. Maybe that inner discomfort is due precisely to the need to live in close contact with nature , in a house surrounded by flowers, trees and shrubs, completely immersed in the Green . In the morning, barely awake, would throw open the shutters and see firs, not self; a flight of birds, not a gray sky; and hear the bells of grazing cows, not the rattle of a tram; the tapping of a woodpecker, not the roar of an engine. finally breathe deeply the scent of Mother Earth, with which they feel deeply connected.
And so, every time on TV, on a trip or a trip to the countryside , they see a place surrounded by nature , try a hint of regret. Even knowing that he could not realize their dream – bound by previous decisions or by fate, who knows – a poignant melancholy fills their hearts and find themselves thinking: yes, this is where I want to live !
