　　Slender in the Grass

　　TIME 2008.12.08 Vol. 172 No.23

　　There’s one place my young daughters loveso much that we have to spell out the word in their presence, lest they goberserk: the p-a-r-k. We regularly use a trip to the park as a bribe, and whilethat may not be the best parenting technique, in this case it comes withincredible rewards。

　　A new study found that inner-city kidsliving in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight overa two-year period than kids living amid more concrete and fewer trees. Such findings tell a powerful story.The obesity epidemic began in the 1980s, and many people attribute it to increased portion sizes and inactivity, butthat can’t be everything. Big Macs and TVs have been with us for a long time. “Most experts agree that thechanges were related tosomething in the environment,” says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of theJohns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green。

　　The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine,isn’t the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get uscloser to identifying whatworks and why. At its most straightforward, a green neighborhood simply means more places forkids to play — which is vital

　　since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest correlates of children’sactivity levels. But green space is good for the mind too; research by environmental psychologists has shown thatit has cognitive benefits forchildren with attention-deficit/ hyper activity disorder (ADHD). In one study,simply reading outside in agreen setting improved kids’ symptoms。

　　Exposure to grassy areas has also been linked to less stress and a lower body mass index among adults. And an

　　analysis of 3,000 Tokyo residents associatedwalkable green spaces with greater longevity among senior citizens。

　　Glass cautions that most studies don’t necessarily prove a causal linkbetween greenness and health, but they’re nonetheless helping spur action. InSeptember the U.S. House of Representatives approved the delightfully named No Child Left Inside Act toencourage public initiatives aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors。

　　Finding green space is, of course, not always easy, and you may have towork a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in a suburbor a city with good parks, take advantage

　　of what’s there. Your children in particular will love it — and their bodiesand minds will thank you。
