The more nature you live around, the longer you may live. A new study of female nurses found that those who lived close to and with a lot of plants had improved longevity. “Women living near areas with the most vegetation had a 41 percent lower death rate from kidney disease, a 34 percent lower death rate from respiratory disease and a 13 percent lower death rate from cancer, compared with women living in areas with the least vegetation, the study found.” While the exact reasoning behind this link is uncertain, researchers speculated that the benefits of nature can improve social life, depression, and increase chances of physical activity which are all things that may increase life span.
