Blue calms, and red invigorates: how to choose the right colors for each room

Did you know that the color of the walls or plates can help in the fight against insomnia and extra pounds? The head of the Department of Medical Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine of the Belarusian State Medical University Lyudmila Malkevich told about how to choose the right shade for each room on the talk show “PRO HEALTH” on the YouTube channel “SEE AND LIVE”, writes sb.by.

Lyudmila Malkevich noted that blue, for example, calms:

- A long time ago, doctors recommended painting beds in kindergartens in blue, blue colors. And classrooms in schools, on the contrary, in yellow and green. These shades improve learning, increase concentration.

By the same principle, when decorating a bedroom at home, you can use blue, blue colors, and when arranging the office - green and yellow.

When asked which color to choose for the kitchen, the expert said:

- It depends on what the person loves. But I can say that, for example, different colors are actively used in psychiatric practice for the treatment of anorexia. Along with drug therapy, it is recommended to use chromotherapy. For example, serve food on plates of red or with bright red, orange inclusions. The red spectrum stimulates the function of the gastrointestinal tract and increases appetite. If, on the contrary, we want to lose pounds, we can also use an additional method: food is served on brown, blue plates. These are the colors that calm and slightly suppress appetite.

Lyudmila Malkevich added:

- As for children, the colors should also be balanced. Keep in mind that yellow and green tones contribute to the normalization of metabolic processes, secretion of gastric juice, intestinal peristalsis, activity of the cardiovascular system. The red color has a stimulating effect. In the XVII-XVIII centuries there were red tones in entertainment establishments. And now they are often found in discos.
