Green areas give you more than just a place to stretch your legs – they can also affect your chances of suffering a stroke, according to a new study that linked having green spaces close by with a 16 percent reduction in stroke risk.
"Given that it is predicted that the incidence, mortality and disability attributed to the disease will increase in the coming years, it is important to understand all the risk factors involved."
Greenery and natural spaces can boost health in a number of ways: they can reduce stress, they can give people places to exercise, and they can protect mental health.

The team also looked at three atmospheric pollutants in the same study: nitrogen dioxide , particulate matter under 2.5 microns , and soot particles.
