A study conducted at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital on 108,630 women discovered the secret of how women can live longer. The researchers call a relationship between nature and a woman's longevity. How can?
The study states that women whose lives are surrounded by nature, such as greenery and trees, have a longer-tended age. It was also found the fact that the mortality rate of women close to nature was 12 percent lower than those that did not.
The researchers looked at how the dwellings and greenish levels around the homes of the women who became the object of research.
Women living close to nature are also said to have better health and a 34 percent lower chance of dying from respiratory problems. For the risk of cancer in women living in natural surroundings will decrease to 13 percent.
Then what is the relationship between the residence and the longevity of a woman?
The fact of life surrounded by nature and green plants is the best thing that can be given to your body as a woman. Because in such environments, you will not encounter air pollution, noise and extreme hot weather.
The researchers also concluded the theory that living around nature can provide increased body opportunities to perform activities, so that the level of social interaction will be higher. Obviously these things will help lower stress levels and can make you happier in life.
In fact, improving mental health, including low stress levels, is one indicator of prosperity. In addition, researchers also found that living in a green environment can improve your mental health up to 30 percent better.
"We are surprised to see a strong relationship between increased exposure to greenness and lower mortality," said Peter James, a fellow researcher at the Harvard Chan School Department of Epidemiology.
Well, despite being 'trapped' in the middle of urban with a high routine, does not mean you do not have hope for long life.
You, women, can create your own green environment around the house by planting trees, or just decorative plants in the windows of the house. Not only add value to the beauty, this plant will help you and your family to live healthier and certainly longevity.
