Get rid of boredom and stress
Monotonous daily routines can cause stress and burnout. Whether it’s routine at the office, routine at home, routine at work and so on. With gardening you will see and develop your plants from planting the seeds, watching the shoots grow, caring for and maintaining them until they are fertile. This will release the hormone serotonin which functions to improve a happier mood.
As a sporting facility
Who says gardening doesn’t make our bodies fit? By gardening you are already doing physical activity with many movements such as squatting, kneeling, bending and standing. By gardening, you have trained physically to be more active without doing sports movements that you may not like. Of course this can also reduce weight.
Change your diet to be healthy
This point is especially for those of you who choose vegetable or fruit gardening. The fun thing about harvesting is eating your crop. Apart from yourself, the whole family can also be healthy by eating vegetables and fruits from their own garden by eating healthy foods.
