Plants Inside The House

 Plants Inside The House

Air pollution is now a problem. There are many diseases available from pollution such as asthma, pneumonia, cough, heart disease and stroke.

One way to reduce pollution is to take care of house plants. These plants also have health benefits:

1. Plants provide oxygen and remove carbon dioxide around them. This is in contrast to humans who need oxygen and emit carbon dioxide.

2. According to a NASA study, house plants remove toxins from our environment. These are VOCs or volatile organic compounds that come from paints, coatings and refrigerators. Carbon monoxide from the car will also be reduced.

3. We can prevent the flu and cough. According to a study by the University of Agriculture in Norway, caring for house plants reduces fatigue, cough, cold and sore throats by 30%. This is due to the removal of dust around.

4. House plants are a natural humidifier. This increases the humidity (or water) in the air because the plant's roots absorb water and evaporate from the leaves. The higher the humidity, the less likely we are to be infected.

5. When you take care of house plants, you will have a happier and more positive outlook on life.

6. The analysis found that office workers work better when they see plants around.

7. Your sleep will be better and more sleepy.

8. The plants inside and outside our house are our defense against the heat of the weather and global warming. The temperature under the tree is less than 1 degree compared to other places.

9. To make your house plants more effective, choose large house plants that are 6 to 8 inches wide. Bamboo plants are very good because they provide 10 times the amount of oxygen compared to other plants.

Just remember that plant water should be changed every week. This is to prevent the spread of smallpox that can cause dengue. But on the whole, taking care of the plant indoors is beneficial. Give it a try.
