Can gardening help you exercise?
The gardening habit is more than connecting to nature and building a gorgeous yard. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests, gardening is an exercise. Consider it a physical activity as, by gardening, you will burn up to 300 calories in just 30-45 minutes. Gardening is suitable for seniors because it:
• Is a fun exercise
• Makes you more physically active, mobile, and flexible
• Motivates using motor skills
• Fortifies your strength
• Decreases the chances of diseases like osteoporosis
• Improves mental health and reduces stress
• Provides a sense of enjoyment to nature and the outdoors
• Rises levels of social interaction
• May produce healthy home-grown veggies
