G R E E N - Wear 'em and eat 'em!

Green is definitely one of my favourite colours. I love to wear it, eat it, surround myself in it - I love a good tree hug ha!

Here are some interesting facts about the colour green and it's amazing benefits to us when we wear the different shades.

Green is a dominant colour in nature which represents natural and forest environments. Out of all the colours on the colour wheel, green is regarded as the most restful and relaxing colour for the human eye. Green symbolises harmony, tranquillity, and peace. As a soothing, relaxing colour, it enhances stability and endurance. It is most often associated with growth and renewal, and it promotes optimism, hopefulness, and balance. Nature is nourishing in so many ways.

Green has calming effects. Celebrities appearing on tv often wait in a holding area that is painted in green. The idea is that green will help them relax and focus, and also reduce their anxiety - this is called The Green Room! Maybe I should paint my whole house in green, hmm food for thought! Green enhances positive cognitive outcomes, such as improved memory, problem-solving, positive thinking.

Now let's talk about the benefits of wearing green and the impact that has on our mood in terms of wearing the colour. It is a versatile colour that can be worn in many different ways. It is a great colour to wear all seasons, and it can be paired with many other colours to create a variety of different looks.

When it comes to eating green, there are many benefits associated with consuming green foods. Green vegetables are packed with vitamins and minerals, and they are an excellent source of fibre. I have to eat lots of leafy greens to keep my hypothyroidism in check. So glad someone out there invented the idea of Kale Chips! I could easily eat a bag of kale in one go once it's baked and covered in salt. Even my 8 year old eats kale chips as she thinks they're crisps heehee!

Whether you are looking to add more green to your wardrobe or your diet, there are many ways to incorporate this wonderful colour into your life.

I'll leave you with a fun fact about about the colour green that you may not have heard before:

Green is known as a safe colour worldwide, which is why first-aid equipment is often green.

Bet you never thought of colour that way before!
