Christina Stover Reporter

Feeling stressed or anxious? Try taking care of a plant. Scientific evidence suggests surrounding yourself with plants, perennials and other foliage can improve your mood and cognitive skills. According to a Forbes article from last year, owning plants reduces stress and anxiety, spruces up the air quality, acts as natural humidifiers and facilitates one’s healing. The article continues by saying, “active interaction with indoor plants (like touching and smelling) can reduce physiological and psychological stress.” A January article from TIME wrote, “Plants are indispensable to human life. Through photosynthesis, they convert the carbon dioxide we exhale into fresh oxygen, and they can also remove toxins from the air we breathe.” PHOTO BY KEVIN MENSAH Lori Brandt had a similar take on the Plants offer benefits such as reducing stress, improving air quality and more, according to studies. benefits of owning plants.
