Did you know that adding flowers to your life could actually help

your diet to be successful? No, I don't mean you should eat the

flowers-although there certainly are some edible species. But, by

simply placing flowers around your home, you could actually boost

your mood, and thereby have more success in your weight loss

goal.

It's no big secret that most of us find ourselves with our heads

in the refrigerator and our hands in the cookie jar more often

when we are experiencing significant stress in our lives. The

result of those late night forages and stress-eating habits is

an expanding waistline.

A recent 10 month study conducted by Rutgers University, the

State University of New Jersey, provided scientific proof that

flowers have a very real, positive impact on our emotional

health. The study showed that:

* Flowers have an immediate effect on happiness.

* The positive impact of flowers is long lasting.

* Flowers help people to connect.

According to Dr. Jeannette M. Haviland-, who directed the

Rutgers University study, " Flowers bring about positive emotional

feelings in those who enter a room. They make the space more

welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere. "

Fresh flowers placed around your home will improve your mood and

reduce your stress, making you less likely to reach for food to

boost your happiness. Consider placing a beautiful bouquet or

arrangement in the room of your house where you exercise. Seeing

the flowers will bring a smile to your face and may help motivate

you to keep up your exercise routine. Also, place the flowers in

rooms that you spend most of your time in, such as your living

room, kitchen, and bedroom.

Scientific studies show that certain colors have an impact on our

feelings. To give your flowers some added power over the stress

in your life, choose calming colors like cool blues. Your florist

can help you choose color combinations and arrangements that will

have the best positive affect.

Like surprises? Call up your florist to order a surprise

arrangement for yourself. Now, of course the day and time of

the delivery won't be a surprise, but you can ask your florist

to surprise you with an arrangement. Simply tell him or her how

much you'd like to spend, provide a little information about your

favorite flowers and colors, and ask the florist to surprise you

with the rest. When the flowers arrive at your door, the end

result will be a delightful surprise that will bring a smile

to your face and immediately reduce any stress you might be

experiencing... and you'll have to take your hand out of the

cookie jar to answer the door!
