The healthy benefits of gardening

Russell Chowdhury July 10, 2019 Reviews Leave a Comment

For a lot of people, their gardens are their pride and joy. They are enthusiastic and green-fingered, enjoying the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers while gardening. An added benefit, however, is that health benefits arise. So, why is gardening so beneficial?

Did you know that gardening like weeding and planting can cause you to burn between 200 and 400 calories per hour? On the other hand, if you cut grass, you can burn between 250-350 calories per hour.

Gardening can not only be an effective form of exercise, but it also benefits your mental health. Spending time outdoors is said to lower depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, gardening is healthy for you as it can aid in lowering the risk of diseases such as stroke and osteoporosis and improve your immune system.

  1. Reducing the risk of stroke

According to the world of medicine, gardening can help lessen the dangers of heart attack and stroke. In studying the 60+ age group, gardening can help extend life by up to 30%.

  1. Burn calories

Gardening can be a heavy exercise depending on what you do and for how long. Gentle gardening for 1 hour can help you burn over 300 calories. Also, gardening for several hours can see you burn as many calories as you can from one hour in the gym.

Therefore, health professionals recommend around three quarters of an hour of gardening between three and five times a week. Which can be the perfect solution for those who don’t want to visit the gym.

  1. Relieve stress

Gardening is great for exercise because it helps release endorphins, hormones that help make people feel happier and more at ease. Also, being outside in direct contact with sunlight can help improve your mood.

  1. Improve the immune system

In addition, another advantage of the sun is that it can help you absorb lots of vitamin D. In short, Vitamin D can help your body absorb calcium, which in turn, can help keep your bones strong and your immune system healthy.

  1. Responsibility

Maintaining your garden and keeping your plants alive is a big responsibility. This can be useful for those who have mental health problems or those who are only looking for self-esteem and goals. However, for problem shrubs or trees, don’t attempt to do the work yourself and seek the help of a professional Bournemouth Tree Surgeon like Kieran Boyland.

  1. Live in the present

Being outside in your garden and experiencing seasonal changes can help you feel connected to the world. Therefore, spending time outside and experiencing flowers while blooming can be a great way to track time.

  1. Sensory

Spending time in the park is the best way to improve your sensory system. With a variety of scents, colours, and plant textures around you, you can easily take advantage of your body’s abilities. This can be very valuable for young people who learn about the various senses they have.

  1. Plant fruits and vegetables

Planting fruit and vegetables in your garden can be beneficial to you because you can literally reap what you sow. Apples, tomatoes, carrots, in your garden, all can help you reach five daily a day!.

  1. Reducing osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease that can weaken bones and therefore increase the chance of fractures. By gardening regularly, you will take part in tasks that can ensure all major muscle groups get good training.
