A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living amid more concrete and fewer trees. Such 62 tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic began in the 1980s,and many people 63 it to increased portion sizes and inactivity, but that can’t be everything. Fast foods and TVs have been 64 us for a long time. “Most experts agree that the changes were 65 to something in the environment,” says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a 66 of the green.
The new research, 67 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, isn’t the first to associate greenery with better health ,but it does get us closer 68 identifying what works and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood 69 means more places for kids to play—which is 70 since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest correlates of children’s activity levels. But green space is good for the mind reading 71 : research by environmental psychologists has shown that it has cognitive 72 for children with attention瞕eficit disorder. In one study, just reading 73 in a green setting improved kids’ symptoms. 74 to grassy areas has also been linked to 75 stress and a lower body mass index among adults. And an 76 of 3,000 Tokyo residents associated walkable green spaces with greater longevity(长寿) among senior citizens.
Glass cautions that most studies don’t 77 prove a causal link between greenness and health, but they’re nonetheless helping spur action. In September the U.S. House of Representatives 78 the deliberately named No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public initiatives aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors.
Finding green space is not 79 easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburb or a city with good parks, take 80 of what’s there. Your children in particular will love it—and their bodies and minds will be 81 to you.
