The Lure of Nature

MANILA, Philippines - It doesn’t take a scientist to realize that living close to nature is somewhat good for the health – mothers across the world know this. Actual scientists, though, have come up with studies that prove exactly how and why.

Research suggests that people with less access to nature demonstrate relatively poor cognitive functions, have a short attention span, poor management of emotions, and poor impulse control, compared to those who have regular interaction with a more natural environment, which implies that nature is a major positive influence on a person’s mood, life, and work satisfaction.

While living in the city definitely affords its perks – proximity to work, recreation, education, and more, living outside the urban metropolis is a utopian dream to many city folk. It all comes down to choice and priorities. Young professionals may prefer the vibrant, upbeat city life, but growing families and retirees seek the calm and comfort of a suburban community.

A reasonable distance from the crowds of the city, developments along the metro’s perimeter are flourishing. Many are designed to be self-sufficient, with commercial establishments, educational institutions, churches and hospitals built inside or in the vicinity of the development.
