Trees Of Life

Eating vegetables is not the only way greens can make you to become healthy. A new study suggests that simply living near trees, even in cities, does your body good. Japanese researchers studied that the survival rate of more than 3000 senior citizens in urban Tokyo, and found that those who lived near parks and tree-lined streets were more likely to outlive those surrounded by asphalt-regardless of age,sex and socioeconomic status. The researchers think that the availability of such spaces contributes to good health because it entices us to be more active. So plant more trees, live close to them and live healthier. RD
