New study finds that short-term memory is improved
20% by walking in nature, or even just by looking
at an image of a natural scene.

The results showed that people's performance on the
test improved by almost 20% after wandering amongst
the trees. By comparison those subjected to a busy
street did not reliably improve on the test.

In the second study participants weren't even allowed
to leave the lab but instead some stared at pictures
of natural scenes while others looked at urban environments. The improvements weren't quite as
impressive as the first study, but, once again,
the trees and fields beat the roads and lampposts.

These results replicated a previous study by
Berto (2005) who found that just viewing pictures of
natural scenes had a restorative effect on cognitive
function. People's performance was soon restored by
picture of trees, fields and hills,
but not by streets, industrial units or even complex
geometric patterns.

Green is a soothing colour and it emits some positive energy. This study is a fact we have observed many a times but do not give it much importance.

Yes Green is the color and answer to many problems faced by the world today!..be it energy crisis or environment protection or health...perhaps in olden days our elders used to walk more, sleep under the moon in summer times and stayed healthy ! Walking is the one of the easiest and most effective remedy for general health and reduce pollution !

This is true. A doctor advised one of my friends, who became dull and inactive, to go around Osmania University, every day morning, which is full of greenery. He became vey active within few days. No medicines, natural cure.

Thanks,Konkan for referral.It confirms long time held belief in India that waking barefoot on green grass is beneficial to health. It is also believed that looking to greenery improves eye vision.Ironically,we do not have explanation,but only tradition.
