We’re already having trouble relaxing because of the blurring between home, work, and school. Now they all take place in the same few rooms for a lot of people. Your brain never gets a break.
It is a mission at Biozenic to enrich people’s lives with nature, specifically using plants. Understanding the role of sunlight is all part of this. It’s amazing to realize how deeply our physical and mental health is tied to the rhythms of nature.
A mere hour time change shouldn’t matter so much for our mood change, should it? But it does. This is tied to the phenomenon of circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycle of human physiological processes including brain activity, cell regeneration, and other biological functions, which are affected by light and temperature.
This year, we’re also spending more time than ever in an artificial environment in the work-from-home universe. For a lot of people, the only time they ever got outside and saw the world was their daily commute, and it’s gone. Without the presence of natural cues, our health suffers. It’s true for all sorts of natural influences, not just light. This is what the study of biophilia, the human connection to all of nature’s living systems, is about.
Improve Your Mental Health
You can improve your health and reduce your mental fog and anxiety by recreating the natural environment indoors. The more we can simulate nature by providing bright natural light, clean air without chemical exposure, and adding plants (our favorite!), the better we will feel and function day to day.
