Gardens for health.
Live longer by gardening. It’s true gardening can help create a healthy and long life.
It is in fact one of the most perfect methods for older people to get exercise. Bending down, moving around digging and planting, carrying weights. All help to maintain the ability to move, even strengthening bone density.
The problem with older people is when they succumb to a sedentry lifestyle, that’s when things go wrong. Things stiffen up, restricted movements set in and cardio problems occur.
Gardening helps with all these things. Plus being in the fresh air and surrounded by living green.
The Centre for disease control and prevention in a study came to the conclusion that more people should work in gardens.
Growing benefits everything, You, your environment and the planet.
