There are few things in this world that are more relaxing and serene than getting back to nature. The smell of fresh, clean air, the sound of birds chirping, and the beautiful views of the city lights on the horizon while still being able to see the painting of stars in the sky are just a few of the reasons why humans treasure living on the edge of cities instead of smack-dab in the middle of them.
When people live close to nature, their lives begin to change in ways that they never thought possible. Right here in Tucson, many homeowners choose to live just outside of the city and take advantage our lush and beautiful natural surroundings near nature.
The Journal of Environmental Health Perspectives recently made waves in the medical community when they proved that people who live around greener areas of vegetation actually live longer than those who live in cities.
Surrounding yourself with nature means that your mental and physical health are all getting a boost.
The study found that those who live around greener areas have a 13% lower death rate when battling cancer, 30% reduction in instances of depression, and a 34% lower death rate from respiratory diseases. Does it get any better than that?
