Cultivating a Gardening Habit
Discover the Health Benefits of Yard Work
ABMP article
Feeling the need to exercise, clean up your diet, meditate?
Want to be more creative, get out and meet people, enjoy
the outdoors, and slow down? There's one activity in which you can accomplish all
of these objectives: gardening.
Encouraging Exercise Studies show that vigorous digging burns 500
calories an hour, weeding burns 210 calories, and mowing the lawn burns
400 calories. As a moderate exercise, gardening has been found to
decrease the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and a study at the
University of Arkansas found that gardening was
almost as effective as weight lifting in reducing the
risk for osteoporosis in women. So instead of
taking that indoor aerobics class this summer, try
mowing the lawn or planting an herb garden.
As with any exercise regimen, the key is to start at
a comfortable pace and gradually work your way up
to longer, more difficult activities. Your heart rate should
be about the same as when you take a brisk walk.
Improving Your Diet Gardening will also likely help you eat better. Research
shows that people who grow gardens eat more vegetables and fruits than those
who don't. Growing fresh herbs, even in a container on the deck or balcony, is
another great way to add flavor and freshness
to home-cooked meals and an incentive to try new
recipes.
Boosting Your Social Life Gardening can also be quite
social. Whether at a garden club, a community garden,
or an online forum, people love to share ideas, solve
common problems, and connect through mutual
interests.
Easing Stress And finally, gardening is a great way to manage stress. Spending
time outside and tuning in to the rhythms of nature, we're reminded to be patient,
slow down, and breathe the fresh air. Whether growing flowers,
vegetables, or herbs, a garden reminds us of our connection to life and the
abundance that nature so freely gives.
