Women Who Surround Themselves With Plants Live Longer

Those May flowers everyone talks about make a difference!

The research comes out of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health as well as the Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

The eight-year-long study specifically examined a potential link between thriving vegetation and an extended lifespan.

According to a new study, women who live in a home surrounded by plants or an area with heavy vegetation live longer.

The study found that women with more plants have a 12% longer life span and even better mental health than those without plants or areas without vegetation.

Time to hit the garden!
