Why Gardening is Healthy
Gardening is good for the mind, body, and soul – not just for you for outdoor décor! Gardening provides you with a sense of purpose, and a connection to nature. It provides a huge list of health and well-being benefits, like decreasing your risk of dementia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, and mental health issues. Besides that, there are many physical benefits from gardening and shopping at your local store:
- gardening increases the natural absorption of vitamin D,
- eating locally provides better nutrients for your family.
- buying in-season products is cheaper.
