Plants have been the major backbone and foundation upon which other discoveries in medicine lies on. Practically all drugs are produced from the active components gotten from plants. As humans, nature has given us all it has and what is expected of we humans is to harness the potential benefits from these plants.

Plants have made it possible for humans to live long through the nutrients they provide us. Humans need some basic nutrients they to live a healthy life. Nutrients must be supplied at a recommended dose and when this fails, problem ensues. For the benefit of doubt, nutrients are divided into the following :

1. Micro nutrients and
2. Macro nutrients.

The macro nutrients are those that are needed large quantities for proper functioning of the body system. They must be taken in in large amount before they effective exert their biological fuctions. The micro nutrients on the other hand are those ones that are needed in smaller amounts by the body. They must not be take in large amounts as they could result to toxicity.

Major nutrients needed by the body include vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, etc. Marjority of all the nutrients are gotten from plants. So now imagine if there were no plants. What would have become of we humans?

Plants so far help keep the air clean and devoid of bad airs. They help reduce the stress WWE face as humans. The oxygen they release during perspiration keeps the environment cool. A whole lot of benefits are gotten from plants.

A lot of diseases would have plagued humans if it were not for plants. If would not have been possible to treat some minor sickness without plants. Who says planet can survive without plants, obviously the person has not felt the rot of disease and illnesses.

Our world will continue to thrive and flourish with nature around us. Plants are indispensable assets we need as humans to survive. Always keep them around, they bring good tidings and make our world beautiful.

The earth is green!
