it is well known that it is very healthy to be close to nature, especially for urban people. However, there is no clear definition of whether it is easier or more economical and feasible to approach nature. For the first time, Australian scientists have made it clear for the first time that at least half an hour a week, like parks, they can easily maintain their physical and mental health. The risk of depression can be reduced by 7% and the risk of hypertension can be reduced by 9%. The research results have been published in the famous Scientific Reports, a natural publishing group. The development of the urbanization of
21 century has brought about the threat of public health in the world, and the problems of chronic physiological and psychological diseases in urban population are becoming more and more prominent. People are increasingly aware that the natural environment in cities is of great value in alleviating urban diseases.

over the past 40 years, scientists have been on land. It has found many benefits to health from close to nature, such as reducing cardiovascular death, improving mental state and improving social functions. Therefore, cities all over the world are investing more in building and maintaining urban greening space. In 2015, the US spent more than 6 billion dollars on this. However, suggestions on the public use of urban natural environment to promote health are still very general, which is not conducive to the greatest benefit of urban public health threats, and more detailed guidance for the public is needed.
the new study, published by Australian scientists for the first time, has been proposed for the first time. It is the first time that the environment, time and frequency of the choice of nature can be beneficial to physical and mental health. They conducted a survey of 1538 residents in Brisbane, Australia, and analyzed the impact of local natural proximity on health outcomes. They not only reconfirm the benefits of being close to nature, but also point out the specific ways to achieve good health. The results showed that at least 30 minutes 1 times a week, the urban greening park could reduce the risk of depression and hypertension by 7% and 9%, respectively.

"everyone has realized that the park is good for health very early, and now we are getting more "How much time will it take to get to the park," said Dr. Richard Fuller, co - author of the study, "we have obtained the exact evidence that at least 30 minutes in the park 1 times a week to be close to nature, it is so easy to maintain health."
