Health Benefits of Fresh Cut Flowers

Having fresh cut flowers from Bloomex in your home does so much more than simply intensify the room’s aesthetic appeal. Check out what you can expect from the simple act of adding flowers to your home.

Flowers enhance your mood.

If you were to give random gifts out to men and women, flowers are the only gift that would receive a true smile (a smile with your mouth, cheeks and eyes) every time. 

Flowers reduce stress.

A group of women were surveyed regarding their stress levels at the beginning and end of a 12-day period. Five days in, each participant received either flowers, a luxury candle or nothing. At the end of the study, the women who received flowers reported improved moods and reduced stress levels. On average, the stress among the flower group was 5.5 points lower on the questionnaire, where the candle group was only 2 points lower and the group with nothing had no change.

Flowers help you “get better soon”.

Lack of humidity in the winter air creates an environment in your body that breeds infections. This is one of the the reasons you see so many people getting the cold and flu throughout winter. Water released naturally by flowers will help with sore throats, dry skin, and heavy dry cough.

Flowers boost your memory.

Seniors performed higher on everyday memory tasks and experienced enriched personal memories in the presence of flowers. Seniors who received flowers re-engaged with members of their communities and enlarged their social contacts to include more neighbors, religious support and medical personnel.

Flowers increase your sex appeal.

A study done in 2010 found that women rated men in videos as sexier when sitting in a room filled with flowers than in one with empty vases. They reported feeling more likely to go out with them. In another study, women were more likely to give their number to a man when standing outside a flower shop.

Flowers are the best bribe. 

Flowers increase a level of compassion that we feel for others. Which means we are more willing to do someone a favour when given flowers first.

 

So, when your not quite sure what you should be doing, buy flowers. There are no studies proving they won’t solve all your problems..
