Our home is that place where we seek comfort and cosiness. However, if we do not know how to arrange it correctly or what decorative elements to implement in our home, we may not achieve the goal we are looking for. The best thing we can do is to create a space where relaxation, tranquillity and the absence of stress are the protagonists. To this end, several studies have determined that natural elements should be present in our homes. In particular, plants are great allies in the search for tranquillity and peace. This has been determined by several studies, mainly a Japanese one that has given wonderful qualities to plants
They release endorphins
One of the great qualities that plants have is that they are able to make us release endorphins. They achieve this just by looking at them or taking care of them
Apparently, these tasks have relaxing effects and noticeably improve the mood of those who perform them, according to various studies.
Reduce cortisol
A well-known study from the University of Hyogo in Japan showed that observing plants for several minutes can help reduce cortisol levels in the body. This makes our stress level go down. Cortisol is the hormone that arises in response to stress and can cause glucose to rise in the body.
A relaxing visual effect
This relaxing visual effect is given by the green color of the plants. This effect is also favored by their natural shape. In fact, their fluid and natural image counteracts the visual tension of modern life
Observing natural and colorful shapes can help our brain relax and find the peace that we do not find in the stressful daily life that we usually lead
Improve air quality
One of the most well-known qualities of plants is that they improve air quality. That is why it is important to care for and preserve them in our homes and in nature
The system is simple; plants purify the air when they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This process helps to create a much healthier and, of course, more relaxing environment.
The connection with nature
Plants are essential for life and for our physical and mental well-being. Having them in our home can help to foster a connection with nature
This connection we have mentioned has an extremely positive impact on our mental health and wellbeing. In fact, many experts recommend that in times of stress we travel to places full of nature to improve our health
