New research that associated having green spaces close by with a 16-percent drop in stroke risk specified that green areas give a person more than just a place to stretch his legs, but they affect the chances of suffering stroke.
In a ScienceAlert report, for this new study, the adjacent green spaces were counted as those within a fifth of a mile or 300 meters from home.
Data taken from the public healthcare system covering over 3.5 million adults in the Catalonia region of Spain were gathered between 2016 and 2017.
While data don't reveal that green spaces are the direct reason for stroke risk reduction, researchers have noted that the link is strong enough to warrant further examination and back up the notion that having more nature around is advantageous to human health.

BTW, what’s your monthly windex bill for cleaning all that glass? :-D
Do golf courses count?
It's likely true that living near such properties does not PROTECT one from strokes, it seems to me that CHOSING to live near such properties can reflect a lifestyle that is less prone to strokes.
It's true that correlation is not causation, but it could very well be true that causation can create the correlation.
LOL a thinker good one
