Green living space improves mental health
|
According to a new study from Cornell University, living in a home surrounded by woods, meadows, or other natural settings
can increase the attention capacities of children and generally improve their mental health.
"When children's cognitive functioning was compared before and after they moved from poor to better quality housing that
had more green spaces around, profound differences emerged in their attention capacities even when the effects of improved
housing were taken into account," explained study author Nancy Wells, an assistant professor of design and environmental
analysis at Cornell. Wells suggests that even small efforts to improve green space such as preserving existing trees or
planting new ones and maintaining grassy areas _ are likely to influence the welfare of children.
