Women living in the countryside<\/strong> live longer and better, these are\u00a0the surprising results of a study<\/strong> of T.H. Chan School of Public Health<\/strong> at Harvard that show that women who live surrounded by greenery<\/strong> have a lower mortality rate of 12%<\/strong> compared to those living in cities.<\/p>\n

The study lasted 8 years<\/strong> and involved little more than 100,000<\/strong> US women,<\/strong> and took into account several factors such as mental<\/strong> health<\/strong>, physical activity, depression<\/strong>, diseases<\/strong>. Green seems the only elixir of life existing. And even if living\u00a0in the countryside gives us no immortality, it\u00a0extends our\u00a0life considerably and it also improves the quality<\/strong> of it.<\/p>\n

\"living<\/p>\n

The less exposure to air pollution, the greatest opportunities for social engagement and the lower<\/strong> noise pollution<\/strong> lead\u00a0to lower levels of depression and to a better mental health thanks also to the increased possibility of socialization<\/strong> within the community. A woman who lives surrounded by trees and meadows will have 30% less<\/strong> likely to get depression than a woman living in a neighborhood with a high rate of urbanization, with no green spaces.<\/p>\n

Not only greater mental health, also\u00a0with regard to the diseases nature comes to our aid: according to the research, for women living in the countryside, the mortality related to cancer<\/strong> is less than 13%, while that caused by respiratory<\/strong> diseases<\/strong> is even less than 34% alway than women living in the city.<\/p>\n

The data have surprised the researchers too, Peter James, one of them, stated:<\/p>\n

“We were surprised to find such a strong relationship between exposure to green and lower mortality rate. We were even more surprised to find evidence that a large part of the benefits given by the high presence of vegetation are linked with better mental health. “<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems that the meadows and trees not only help the planet, but also our mental<\/strong> and physical<\/strong> health<\/strong>. And so planting trees and creating green spaces in our city now has two meanings: combat climate change and preserve our health, living longer and better.<\/p>\n

And now excuse me, I prepare the\u00a0bags and go to live in the countryside!<\/p>\n

Read here the complete study which shows that the countryside\u00a0lengthens life<\/a><\/h4>\n
