New studies show that increasing the number of trees and shrubs in urban spaces can help reduce inflammation and improve health.

By planting more than 8,000 trees and shrubs in specific areas of Louisville, researchers investigated its effect on the health of residents. After these implants, inflammation levels in residents of these areas decreased between 13 and 20 percent, indicating a reduced risk of heart disease and other related diseases.

These findings show that trees and urban green spaces not only contribute to beauty and provide shade, but can also help improve public health. The researchers also emphasized the importance of increasing green spaces in cities and introduced this measure as a key method to promote public health.

Urban green spaces play a crucial role in public health, as evidenced by this study. Increasing trees and shrubs in cities not only adds beauty but also reduces inflammation, lowering the risk of diseases. Investing in green infrastructure is a key strategy to promote healthier urban environments.
