HEALTH BENEFITS OF GARDENING
It’s likely that you may already have a garden. According to the Garden
Media Group, 16 million people started gardening during the pandemic.
As we enter the growing season, gardening is a great way to spend time
outdoors—and get some exercise. The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention counts activities like raking and cutting grass as light
to moderate exercise—while shoveling, digging and chopping wood are
vigorous exercise.
In addition to physical activity, consider these health benefits of
gardening:
Increased vitamin D levels essential for body functions
Boosted self-esteem
Improved mood
Reduced stress and anxiety
