Make Belize Your Place of Peace

How Nature Can Extend Your Life

An eight year study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women’s Hospital that followed the lives of 108,000 women demonstrated that even a modest amount of greenery in the places where you live, work, and play could boost an individual’s life span. Researchers used satellite imaging to determine the presence of flora, and they discovered that there was a 12% gap in the mortality rate between those living in the greenest and those living in the least green areas.

While researchers currently believe that the statistical difference can be attributed to a number of different factors, depression has a major role to play in the distinctions. While further research will be required, it’s believed that depression from life in blighted landscapes can be a comorbid factor for a number of different related issues. But decreased pollution, better opportunities for social interaction, and generally high exercise levels likely have a major part to play in the bigger picture.

How to Make the Most of Your Newfound Powers

The bottom line is that even if close proximity to nature isn’t a causal issue for a longer and happier life, it definitely appears to be a correlative one. Being able to breathe fresh air, absorb the splendor of the natural world, and find exercise while having genuine social interactions can be a huge boost to your physical, mental, and spiritual health.
