Although living close to nature has many health benefits, recent research has shown that regular exposure to nature during a global pandemic can also help reduce the negative effects on mental health.<\/p>\n
An online survey was conducted in Japan for research published in the journal Ecological Applications.<\/p>\n
The survey reveals a link between five mental health outcomes (depression, a satisfying life, happiness, self-confidence and loneliness) and two important natural experimental measures (green space use frequency and a green view from a window or home). It can reduce the negative effects on the mental health of people who live close to nature on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
The research found that overuse of the greenery view from the window of the house was associated with increased self-confidence, satisfying life, and happiness.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur findings show that staying close to nature acts as a barrier and helps eliminate the effects of highly stressful events from the human mind,\u201d said Masashi Soga, head of research and Ph.D. professor at the University of Tokyo.<\/p>\n
According to Professor Masashi Suga, protecting the natural environment in urban areas is important not only for biodiversity but also for human health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
