Countless benefits of spending time in green areas have been scientifically proven.
Now, according to new research, not only is grass a great place to stretch your legs and relax but being there can also reduce the risk of depression and stroke.
Statistical research has proven that an area rich in trees, plants, and grass has a profound effect on humans and can reduce the risk of stroke by 16%.
To investigate this hypothesis, a green space 300 meters away from a home or office is considered part of that location.
In this regard, a survey of 3.5 million adults in Catalonia, Spain, was conducted between 2016 and 2017.
Although the direct effect of greenery on human health has not been revealed in it, it can be said that living near trees and plants is beneficial for health.
On the other hand, Carla Avlanida of Barcelona's IMIM Hospital believes that environmental influences may play a significant role in the risk of stroke.
Gardens and lawns, on the other hand, can be very important places for sitting, playing, exercising, and mental well-being. But perhaps they can have some positive effects on the human heart.
We know that trees absorb pollution and carbon dioxide, which can cause mental and cardiovascular diseases, both of which have been scientifically proven. However, more research is needed on stroke and greens.
