FREDERICTON — A new study suggests having daily exposure to trees and other greenery can extend your life. “Holding all that constant, if you live in a greener area, compared to a less greener area, there’s about a 10-per-cent reduced risk of dying,” he said. Researchers found the protective effects of exposure to green space weren’t the same for everyone, however. The study only measured rates of mortality and didn’t estimate how much longer someone might live with regular exposure to green spaces. “Water is completely different from green space, but living on the water can be very relaxing and stress reducing,” he said.
