How People Use Plants by Moonin Mookhiruntara
If it wasn’t for plants, none of us would be here alive today. That is because they provide us with the oxygen we need to breathe to survive. That is normally the first answer you will get when you ask why plants are useful to us. However, although that may be a commonly said reason, it is by no means the only reason why plants are useful to us in our everyday lives. Five more reasons are that plants are used as food, as medicine, for making materials, as herbal substances, and also in the lab for experiments and the testing of new products on a living organism.
The first of a small list of just five reasons on how plants are used by humans is that we eat them. There are more than twenty thousand known species of edible plants in the world. Some are spinach, broccoli, and celery. They provide our bodies with the vitamins and minerals we need to grow and stay healthy as we develop. Roots like potatos give us necessary doses of vitamin C and potassium. Fruits like watermelon and mango source us with a significant amount of vitamin A, whereas plant seeds that are made into rice, corn, wheat, etc., provide us with vitamins B, E, and K. All the above mentioned vitamins are very useful in the development of the human body.
The second of five human uses of plants is that they are used for medicine. Plants are used to aid human health in many ways. Plants in the medical field don’t just help patients feel better, but some can save a patient's life. Something like the Navajo Tea Plant which helps to quickly relieve that most brutal and irritating of infections: the UTI (urinary tract infection). Many people die from UTI and other fatal infections so the existence of Navajo Tea in the medical field is huge because it keeps many people with serious infections out of the morgue. That is only one of thousands of plants that’s used as medicine in the world, so medical plants is definitely a reason why plants are useful in our society today.
