While the health benefits of plant-based diets are well documented, new research uncovers the lesser-known uses of the nature around us.
The UK’s leading online florist, SerenataFlowers.com, has identified 10 plants that are more than just a pretty face, as they possess qualities that can actually improve our health and wellbeing, and increase productivity in the office:
Increase productivity
Having plants in the office has been found to increase worker productivity by 15%. Not only are they found to reduce stress and fatigue whilst aiding memory retention, they also regulate humidity and reduce carbon dioxide, both of which help employees remain energised. Bamboo Palm is known for its ability to fight indoor air pollution, promoting clear-thinking and easy breathing. Another top office plant is Golden Pothos which removes air toxins and absorbs unpleasant smells – the perfect plant to keep by the office fridge!
Help you sleep
Not getting enough sleep can have a huge impact on the quality of your work and your ability to problem solve. Whether you struggle to drift off or are easily disturbed in the night, keeping a potted Aloe Vera plant beside your bed could help you see the night through, as it produces oxygen at night to combat insomnia and improve overall sleep quality.
