Growing up near green spaces is linked to better mental health

The study could not explain a precise link but suggested that greenery cut stress and encouraged exercise

Children who grow up in greener surroundings have a greatly reduced risk of developing mental illnesses later in life, research suggests.

A leafy childhood environment was as strongly linked to a person’s mental health as their family history of mental illness and only slightly less than their parents’ socio-economic status.
