Rachel Carson demonstrated her love of nature and defense of the environment and all creatures that live on earth. The relationship with nature encompasses emotions, cognitions (e.g., beliefs, attitudes, knowledge), as well as the experiences that people have in nature. The more connected people are, the more likely they are to care about and protect the environment. The relationship with nature is associated with higher levels of subjective well-being. Greater subjective well-being has been associated with good health and longevity, better social relationships, work performance, and creativity. The relationships with the health benefits of contact with nature (NR) are the most studied in relation to forests and green areas. Visiting forests is considered a method to positively influence mental, physical and social well-being. Both natural and urban forests improve people's quality of life. From a medical point of view, various plant communities have a wide range of therapeutic properties, including disinfection, blood pressure reduction, anti-asthma, immune stimulation, etc. Research findings on NR also support the biophilia hypothesis, which suggests that NR may be associated with well-being, as NR satisfies our innate need to connect with other forms of life and therefore provides comfort and fulfillment. staff. The relationship with nature is also associated with people's self-construction, since it moderates the relationship between the need to belong, the desire for social acceptance and the sense of connection. Research shows that a relationship with nature is often associated with greater happiness and greater feelings of overall purpose and meaning in life, as well as greater mindfulness. Furthermore, the relationship with nature is consistently and positively associated with greater life satisfaction and greater vitality.
Although the findings show that women seem to be more connected to nature, men may benefit more from such a connection. In general, contact with nature provides us with:------
1. Being in nature decreases stress-----
2. Nature makes you happier and less brooding---
3. Nature relieves attention fatigue and increases creativity.----
4. . Nature may help you to be kind and generous---
Pesticides and toxic substances from industrial agriculture are the main cause of chronic and degenerative diseases, including cancer. Glyphosate represents a greater danger than DDT due to its widespread application.
Studies have indicated that indoor fumigation with DDT causes high levels of human exposure. DDT is very likely to cause intergenerational harm. Toxic effects of direct exposure to DDT in humans include developmental abnormalities, reproductive diseases, neurological diseases, and cancer. Exposure to the DDT metabolite, DDE, also promotes abnormal human health effects, such as childhood diabetes and obesity. The use of DDT is unacceptable. Intergenerational effects it will cause.
The research reports that daughters of women who had more DDT in their blood had a much higher risk of breast cancer and a higher prevalence of obesity, while sons had a higher risk of testicular cancer. Granddaughters of those women with DDT in their blood samples drawn decades ago also have a higher risk of obesity and early menstruation. These conditions are linked to cardiometabolic problems such as insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and high blood pressure, and an increased risk of breast cancer and some other cancers.
Julia Brody, executive director and senior scientist at the Silent Spring Institute, echoed Cohn's sentiments.
“This is a sign that toxic chemicals are a multigenerational problem similar to climate change,” she told Sierra. "We need increasingly comprehensive testing to eliminate the use of carcinogens and better protect public health," Ella Brody said.
The microbiome is linked to many diseases, including Alzheimer's. Exposure to pesticides, as well as some metals and solvents, has been shown to have a detrimental effect on people. In fact, recent research points to the disturbing possibility that late-onset Alzheimer's disease may be caused by exposure to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane DDT.
Researchers at Rutgers University and Emory University compared the blood of 86 people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease with that of 79 healthy people. Both groups were similar in age and background. Their test results showed that the levels of DDE in the blood of Alzheimer's patients were approximately 3.8 times higher than those of the healthy group.
