Показать описание
If you decide to engage in gardening, you will have many benefits: starting from physical and mental well-being to saving money and all the way to a positive impact on the environment, making your living more sustainable, self-sufficient and eco-friendly.
If you are growing your own fruits and vegetables, there are no carbon emissions. You grow, wash, and eat it, so carbon emissions are essentially - zero. No plastic packaging is required when you harvest vegetables straight from the garden. Pesticide and other chemical inputs can be much less in a small-scale gardening.
1. Did you know that tending your vegetable garden counts as exercise? Yes, it does take time...but it's an enjoyable, relaxing, and healthy exercise in the open air. Еxposing ourselves to sunlight increases the production of vitamin D in our bodies, which benefits our bones and immune system. Gardening is cross-training program where you and your garden get fitter. Gardening qualifies as exercise and is a Perfect Workout which works all the major muscle groups.
2. Vegetable gardening at home can be a way to save money while you get up close and personal with nature. If you’re a beginner, start small. A small-scale garden is a real choice. You can plant several plants of each species together and you will have enough for the whole year. One tomato plant, for example, can provide 5kg of tomatoes over the season. Оr 1 seed potato will produce about 1.8 kg of potatoes and 40 potato plants will provide enough potatoes for 1 family of 4 for 1 year.
3. Gardening is good therapy. "Research shows people who engage in gardening activities report greater mental health," "It reduces negative emotions and helps to boost positive emotions, and also has a soothing impact on conditions like stress, anxiety, and tension.
Did you know that digging in the soil stirs up microbes which are natural antidepressants? Inhaling these microbes can stimulate serotonin production, which can make you feel relaxed and happier. Mycobacterium vaccae is a living creature that resides in your garden soil, acts like a mind-altering drug once it enters the human body, functioning like antidepressant pills to boost your mood. Well, people, - let's get high - on Soil!!!
4. Gardening improves physical health and produces nutritious homegrown goodies, but its therapeutic benefits extend beyond all. On the other hand, you'll find that the flavor and texture of garden-grown produce is even better than what you're used to finding at the grocery store.
Homegrown food provides us with organic produce which is much better and healthier as compared to what we get in the market. In order to cope with the ever-increasing demand, farmers often use chemical fertilizers to increase their produce. Although this activity increases the quantity of the produce, but compromises with the quality.
Growing your own food can help you eat healthier. Besides the physical exercise you'll get tending to a vegetable garden, a productive plot can also promote a better diet by supplying fresh, healthy produce.
Organic food grown traditionally without artificial fertilizers and pesticides with manual work are not only healthier but have a much better taste, aroma, texture, and striking appearance. It is a nice feeling when you grow a garden from seed to harvest, and witness the miracle of life.
Like outdoor garden settings, viewing green plants in indoor living spaces can perk up your spirits and your sense of wellbeing. But the benefits of caring for a living plant, even a single houseplant, transcend green views. Studies show that caring for a plant has particular value for people facing challenging personal circumstances beyond their control that negatively affect physical and emotional health.
To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body - but the soul.
