Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #48132 Nature Benefits
Instructions
A  new  study  from  the  University  of  Vienna  shows  that  regular    with  nature  can  have  positive  effects  on  mental  health,  especially  for  people  with  lower  incomes.  The  study  involved  a  sample  of  2,300  Austrian  residents  and  assessed  their  well-being  and    with  natural  environments.  The  researchers  found  that  spending  time  in  nature  can  help  reduce  stress,  improve  immune  system  function,  enhance  cognition,  improve  sleep  quality,  and  increase  life  satisfaction.  However,  these  benefits  are  not    distributed  among  different  income  groups.  The  study  revealed  that  people  with  lower  incomes    to  have  poorer  mental  health  than  their  wealthier  counterparts,  but  they  also  benefit  the  most  from  contact  with  nature.  According  to  the  studys  lead  author,  Leonie  Fian,  the  well-being  benefits  derived  from  weekly  visits  to  nature  throughout  the  year  are  comparable  to  the  benefits  associated  with  an  annual  income  increase  of  1,000  euros.  However,    living  near  green  areas  or  water  bodies  is  not  enough.  Active  engagement  with  these  places  is  necessary.
