Researchers from Cambridge University have justified the affirmation that any additional hours that children spend in nature, reduces the chance that they suffer from myopia by 2%. Only 10% of today's children play outside, versus 70% who play once, but the game is clean air and therapy helps children have a stronger view.
In the study participated 10 thousand children and teenagers. Researchers have published reasoned conclusion about the exposure of children to nature. These children, who spend several hours outdoors with greenery and fresh air, have a stronger view.
This may be because the eyes are shown to natural light and spend time looking for objects in the distance. Therefore parents should spend time with their children in nature, they grow healthy.
The outdoors is also the very best place for preschoolers to practice and master emerging physical skills. It is in the outdoors that children can fully and freely experience motor skills like running, leaping, and jumping. It is also the most appropriate area for the practice of ball-handling skills, like throwing, catching, and striking. And children can perform other such manipulative skills as pushing a swing, pulling a wagon, and lifting and carrying movable objects.
Additionally, it is in the outdoors that children are likely to burn the most calories, which helps prevent obesity, a heart disease risk factor that has doubled in the past decade
