A healthy diet and exercise is the best way to gain and maintain a healthier and happier life. Gardening combines these two necessities into one fun and efficient sport. Gardens can be grown in the smallest of spaces, require little time, and produce bounties of healthy choices at our disposal.
Like exercise, there is no excuse to not get involved in gardening this year. Gardening can be done virtually anywhere. Kits are available to have your plants hang on the wall, if so strapped for space. The antiquated idea of large plots of land to harvest have been replaced by small container gardens on cityscapes. A garden only takes love, sunshine, and water- most of which can be done with little to no effort.
A watering system can be rigged to provide refreshment to your nutrient nourisher. Try taking an old 1 liter bottle and filling it halfway full of water- placing it upside down into the dirt. When the plants get thirsty it will react with the air in the bottle and soak up the needed quencher.
The benefits of gardening go beyond the bounty of healthy nourishment, gardening keeps you physically and mentally exercised. CNN reports on this wide range of benefits, from stress relief to core building. Maintaining your healthy while keeping a garden full of fresh, clean eating vegetables and fruits is the best way to build and commit to a healthier and happier life.
