A Cactus for Your Computer?

If you’re like me and spend way too much time in front of the computer, you might want to consider livening up the area surrounding the computer with a cactus or two.
According to the daily green, some Swiss researchers in the mid-1980s did some tests and found that people ‘who used to suffer from headaches and tiredness felt better after working for two years with a cactus next to their monitors.’
Why?
One theory is that the cacti, which grows in areas of extreme heat and dryness, is able to counter the effects of harsh solar radiation.
My theory – the cactus simply reminds people of wide open spaces and helps their minds escape from the confining office cubicle. A totally unscientific theory but it works for me.
