It is not a surprise that people in the modern times are having much more stress than before. Thankfully, a new study has found an easy way to deal with the problem. Researchers from the University of Hyogo(兵库大学) in Japan have found that small green plants on the desk can go a long way towards reducing people's stress.
More than 60 people from different jobs took part in the study. Half of them were asked to work as usual without any plants in sight(视线) while the other half were given a plant to put or their desks. More than 90 per cent of the office workers showed lower stress levels after taking a three-minute rest to look at their plants.
The study has found that it does not matter whether people were directly looking at their plants or only having the plants near their computers. As long as people had a green plant in sight, their stress levels changed greatly. Moreover, this finding worked on everyone no matter how old they were and what their jobs were.
“People used to go outdoors into nature to relax, but now they have less time to do so,”one of the researchers said.“Lucky for them, our study has proved that a small green plant works in the same way as a large forest.”
