IMPACT OF FLOWERS ON HUMAN BRAIN

Flowers, a symbol of happiness and good cheer one of the beautiful most creations of nature. But this beauty part is not enough to praise the goodness of flora as new research reveals that the sweet scent of flowers may cause co-opting humans into propagating and protecting. This thought is leading researchers to the idea of emotion as an evolutionary force.

                In positive psychology, most theories of positive emotion have focused on discovering their relative costs and benefits to humans.

Flower Impact

We call it Flower Impact; as it brings you smile, the brain-changing smile. Flowers cause positive emotions, and research shows that from an evolutionary standpoint, positive emotions make people better survivors.

•  Greater mood brings wider though-action repertoires allowing us to build our resources.

•   They regulate our motivation to work towards goals.

•   In the right balance with negative emotions provide optimal conditions for mental health.

That’s because positive people are more likely to maintain social relationships, reproduce, find needed resources and be creative.

The women effect

In studies of whether flowers make people happy, researchers found that women who were given flowers all smiled with true enjoyment. Such smiles have been linked to positive emotion and related changes in the brain.

 Later it was found that, people who received flowers reported being happy, but people who instead received candles as gifts did not. Over the study period, those who had gotten flowers also had spent more time with others and got around to doing social activities they had been putting off. This showed that flowers had a social influence.

Memory linkage

The more flowers the older adults received, the happier they use to be. Unexpectedly, people who get flowers perform much better in memory tests than those who did not get flowers. The study raises the question of whether the flowers simply cause a change in mood, which affects motivation, and, in turn, memory, or whether the flowers cause an actual change in memory function.

Perhaps the sensory aspects of flowers directly influence positive human moods. This reaction to flowers would be expected without learning an association between flowers and happiness, but would make learning such an association easier.
