We all follow a life in search of happiness, success, love and especially health.
However, we often forget one of our greatest allies for a balanced life: flora. There are so many species of plants cataloged and you may not realize, but they can improve your lifestyle, mental health, relationships and even your work performance.
It should not be new for anyone who receives flowers that this gesture truly improves our day. This romantic and charming symbol has a lot of history, because before being a romantic act, receiving flowers had another symbolism. The men received flowers as reward or gratitude for services rendered, as well as symbol of sporting achievement. And today we often see champions receive a bouquet of flowers when they win.
Man has created a society as a way to get rid of nature, as the first civilizations arose in the midst of mother nature. The contact with nature teaches society how to overcome obstacles. Nature is almost a field unknown to modern man, as if it were a labyrinth, it helps him to move easier and faster when it comes to challenges, for example the dilemma of crossing a river without bridge and to think quickly in a way to arrive to the other side. In this way, we develop our cognitive in different situations, when we need of agility and sense of survival.
But nothing better than drawing our own conclusions, isn't it? So wear your comfortable shoes and go for a walk, visit the parks and gardens of Oporto's city, do not you regret running and have fun to take good pictures of Porto's fauna and share it on Instagram with the hastag #myportogardens.
