According to Everyday Health, seniors benefit from outdoor activities.
Green spaces in cities benefit residents of all ages. Now, British researchers say, they may also boost older people’s mental well-being.
“We found that older participants experienced beneficial effects of green space whilst walking between busy built urban environments and urban green space environments,” said study author Chris Neale.
“Indeed, this work is the first to be published in a series of papers understanding the impact of green and urban spaces on brain activity in older adults,” said Neale, a research fellow at the University of York’s Stockholm Environment Institute in England.
