I just love having fresh flowers at home. I´am not sure if it is because of the smell they leave behind or just the plain beauty at their sight, whatever it is, it just makes me feel happy.

I now come to find out that a behavioral study was done by Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School with findings that are not really surprising to me. Dr. Etcoff concluded in her research that people with fresh flowers at home were happier and healthier than those who did not.

Part of our health comes from our surroundings and certain circumstances that present themselves daily. I say if having fresh flowers at home is going to help us gain more energy, be happier and less stressed why not do it. In the end, our state of mind is what keeps us healthy and young.
