Yess!! Our brains chemistry works this way that green color is literally calming and red means danger/ fight or flight mode. So when you look at the trees or grass it helps a lot. Blue is good too. But green is having the best impact i think. ---

I’ve started taking probiotic fermented foods for gut health. I was vegan for a while. Now I’m vegetarian but still mostly vegan. I drink oat milk but eat dairy yoghurt for probiotic value. I eat occasional eggs too but only free range. I’m very concerned about animal welfare so try to eat animal products sparingly. ---
