Living Landscapes Bring Surprising Health Benei ts
(NAPSA)-h ere’s a good-and surprising-reason you may pine for greenery.
Living landscapes are an important part of the outdoor lifestyle that Americans
enjoy but the benei ts go beyond the barbecue and backyard baseball. Green
spaces are necessary for your health.
“h e advantages of grass and landscaping surpass the usual physical benei ts
that result from outdoor activity,” explained Kris Kiser, president and CEO, Out-
door Power Equipment Institute (OPEI). “Numerous studies have found that
people who spend more time outside or who are exposed to living landscapes
are happier, healthier and smarter.”
Researchers have studied the ef ect of nature on human well-being for years,
but recent studies found a more direct correlation between human health, par-
ticularly related to stress, and the importance of access to nature and managed
landscapes.
Here’s a look at a few:
• Getting dirty is actually good for you, according to Dr. Christopher Lowery,
a neuroscientist at the University of Bristol in England. Mycobacterium vaccae
in soil stimulates serotonin production, which explains why people who spend
time gardening and have direct contact with soil feel more relaxed and happier.
• Living near living landscapes can improve your mental health. Researchers in
England found that people moving to greener areas experienced an immediate
improvement in mental health that was sustained for at least three years at er
they moved. h e study also showed that people relocating to a more developed
area suf ered a drop in mental health.
• Green spaces can make you healthier, too. People who live within a half mile
of green space (such as parks, public gardens and greenways) were found to
have a lower incidence of 15 diseases by Dutch researchers-including depres-
sion, anxiety, heart disease, diabetes, asthma and migraines. A 2015 study found

that people living on streets with more trees had a boost in heart and metabolic
health.
• Living landscapes can even reduce attention-dei cit/hyper-activity disorder
(ADHD) symptoms. Children gain attention and working memory benei ts
when they are exposed to greenery, says a study led by the Centre for Research
in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona. In addition, exposure to natural
settings may be widely ef ective in reducing ADHD symptoms in children.
• Spending time around plants also improves concentration and memory in
adults. Research shows that being around plants helps you concentrate better
at home and at work. Charlie Hall, Ellison Chair in International Floriculture
at Texas A&M University, believes that spending time in gardens can improve
attention span and memory performance by as much as 20 percent.

IREC TORY
• Gardening is great for the body and the soul. People who gardened for at least
30 minutes a week had lower body mass indexes, a measure of body fat, as well as
higher levels of self-esteem and better moods overall. h ey also reported lower
levels of tension and stress.
• Nature walks (or runs) are great for your brain and stress levels. A National
Institutes of Health study found that adults demonstrate signii cant cognitive
gains at er going on a nature walk. A Stanford University study found that walk-
ing in nature, rather than in a concrete-oriented, urban environment, resulted
in decreased anxiety, rumination, and negative af ect, and produced cognitive
benei ts, such as increased working memory performance.
• Living landscapes help you heal faster. Multiple studies have discovered that
plants in hospital recovery rooms or views of aesthetically pleasing gardens help
patients heal up to one day faster than those who are in more austere environ-
ments.
• You might even be a nicer person when you spend time in nature, as it en-
hances social interactions, value for community and close relationships. A
systematic research review concluded that “the balance of evidence indicates
conclusively that knowing and experiencing nature makes us generally happier,
healthier people.”
All these benei ts reinforce the importance of maintaining yards, parks and
other community green spaces. Trees, shrubs, grass and l owering plants are in-
tegral to human health. Not only do they provide a place for kids and pets to
play, they directly contribute to mental and physical well-being.
