Creative thinking improves while a person is walking and shortly thereafter, according to a study co-authored by Marily Oppezzo, a Stanford doctoral graduate in educational psychology, and Daniel Schwartz, a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Education.
The study found that walking indoors or outdoors similarly boosted creative inspiration. The act of walking itself, and not the environment, was the main factor. Across the board, creativity levels were consistently and significantly higher for those walking compared to those sitting.
Other research has focused on how aerobic exercise generally protects long-term cognitive function, but until now, there did not appear to be a study that specifically examined the effect of non-aerobic walking on the simultaneous creative generation of new ideas and then compared it against sitting, Oppezzo said.
But not all thought processes are equal. While the study showed that walking benefited creative brainstorming, it did not have a positive effect on the kind of focused thinking required for single, correct answers.
According to the study, those who lived longer and enjoyed sound health avoided smoking and alcohol in excess. Researchers also found that those with strong social support experienced less mental deterioration as they aged.
In part of a recent study, researchers found that women who felt securely attached to their partners were less depressed and more happy in their relationships two-and-a-half years later, and also had better memory functions than those with frequent marital conflicts.
Psychiatrist George Vaillant, who joined the team as a researcher in 1966, led the study from 1972 until 2004. Trained as a psychoanalyst, Vaillant emphasized the role of relationships, and came to recognize the crucial role they played in people living long and pleasant lives.

The research advances previous work in three key ways. First, to date, researchers have examined direct nature exposure-response relationships using either a specific visit duration17, or nature visit frequency over a prolonged period26, or both independently18. By multiplying the duration of a representative visit within the last week by the number of visits taken within the last week we were able to develop the first weekly exposure metric (i.e. minutes per week) for nature exposure, similar to those used in other health promotion contexts (e.g. physical activity29). Second, by comparing the coefficients of other, well-established, predictors of health and well-being (e.g. area deprivation) with those for average time spent in nature per week, we were able to assess the relative strength of any exposure-response relationship. Third, previous studies were constrained in their ability to look at the generalisability of relationships across different socio-demographic groups due to relatively small, geographically constrained samples. In this study, the current, nationally representative sample enabled us to stratify, a priori, on socio-demographic characteristics, such as age30, gender31, ethnicity32 and area deprivation33, which appeared to moderate the nature-health association in previous studies22.
Growing evidence of a positive association between contact with natural environments and health and well-being has led to calls for improved understanding of any exposure-response relationships27,28. The aim of the current study was to assess these relationships with a measure based on direct exposure to natural environments, rather than residential proximity, using data from a large nationally representative sample in England. Exposure was defined in terms of the self-reported minutes spent in natural environments for recreation in the last seven days; and outcomes were self-reported health and subjective well-being.

We recruited the first trimester group to enable us to compare the outcomes of women who receive later abortions to those of women who obtain abortions early in pregnancy, since the vast majority of abortions in the United States occur in the first trimester. Women who were seeking abortion care for a fetal abnormality or demise were not eligible for the study. More information about recruitment for the Turnaway Study can be found here. In addition, the New York Times Magazine published an excellent piece on the study in June 2013.
The success of the Turnaway Study inspired ANSIRH researchers to collaborate with colleagues around the world to launch the Global Turnaway Studies, designed to adapt the innovative study design for use in different cultural, legal and socioeconomic contexts.
The Turnaway Study would not have been possible without the hardworking and dedicated staff. Rana Barar directed the study for ten years. Heather Gould conducted qualitative interviews and research management. Sandy Stonesifer and Jasmine Powell directed the study at the very beginning and end. Interviewers include Mattie Boehler-Tatman, Janine Carpenter, Jana Carrey, Undine Darney, Ivette Gomez, C. Emily Hendrick, Selena Phipps, Brenly Rowland, Claire Schreiber, and Danielle Sinkford. Debbie Nguyen, Elisette Weiss and Michaela Ferrari coordinated the study. John Neuhaus and Chuck McCulloch provided statistical consulting and Jay Fraser provided data management.
An additional contribution of our research was providing disaggregated GHG emissions and exploring multiple CO2-equivalence metrics, whereas most previous studies report only GWP100 CO2e. Reporting emissions only as aggregated GWP100 totals results in ambiguity in climate impacts29, whereas providing footprints under multiple metrics gives users insight into temporal differences where there are both short- and long-lived gases involved, as highlighted by the Life Cycle Initiative30. As food system emissions contain important amounts of CH4, a relatively short-lived gas, metric selection can have a pronounced impact on CO2e emission reporting31. Here, however, using the alternative pulse-emission metrics explored in this study did not greatly affect results, with a fairly small change in total footprints and relative performance between dietary groups. A caveat is that emissions data from the Poore and Nemecek database are not separated into different gases, and while they are categorized to broadly infer gas compositions (for example, assuming that the CO2e emissions reported for fertilizer application represented N2O, and enteric fermentation CO2e represented CH4), for other components we had to assume emissions were entirely CO2. We reiterate calls for studies on GHG emissions, particularly those relating to agriculture and food, to provide disaggregated emissions to enable the most reliable analyses31.
Our analyses are subject to the following further limitations. The data on the environmental footprint of foods are taken from a snapshot of food and drink on sale in the UK in 2019 linked to the most comprehensive publicly available dataset of LCAs of the environmental impact of foods currently available3. However, the data on dietary consumption were collected in the 1990s, and dietary preferences are likely to have changed since then. This is mitigated somewhat by the fact that the FFQ was linked to the environmental footprint of food and drink on sale in the UK in 2019, but this will not account for category-level changes in consumption since the 1990s. More recent datasets of dietary consumption in the UK are available, including datasets based on a representative sample of the UK population (for example, Kantar Fast-Moving Consumer Goods panel32 and the National Diet and Nutrition Survey33). However, the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Oxford dataset (used for this analysis) is the most recent data available in the UK that has a large sample of vegan and vegetarian diets, necessary for these analyses. Data collection is underway on the Feeding the Future study34, which aims to update estimates of food intake in vegans and vegetarians (and meat-eaters) in the UK. Updating our analyses using more timely data will provide evidence of whether trends in new meat and dairy alternatives have affected the environmental impact of plant-based diets.
