Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest...be in health,..
3 John 1:2
"New research from Aarhus University in Denmark suggests that people who have grown up in close contact with nature are much less likely to develop mental health problems in adulthood than peers who had less access to green space as children.
In their research — the findings of which appear in PNAS — they used satellite data from 1985 to 2013 to identify the green spaces in close proximity to the childhood homes of more than 900,000 Danes.
They then correlated these data with this population's risk of developing one out of 16 different mental health conditions throughout adulthood.
The researchers found that people who grow up surrounded by green areas have an up to 55 percent lower risk of developing mental health problems as adults than others."
