Gardening is a Very Beneficial Activity
Gardening has many benefits, the main one being able to witness all of your hard work blossoming and thriving. However, there are many valuable traits that help the body directly, physically, and mentally.
Physical Benefits of Gardening:
- Strengthens Muscles: Strengthening the muscles allows for more strenuous activities to become less challenging. Gardening assists in strengthening muscles with exercises; like pulling a wheel barrel or lifting up heavy pots.
- Increases Flexibility: Being flexible allows for less pain and lowers the chance of injury. Gardening increases your flexibility through minor exercises such as bending over to prune roses or reaching up to pull down apples from a tree.
- Decreases Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels: Having lower blood pressure (BP) and cholesterol levels ultimately assist in lowering the chances of having a stroke or heart attack. Engaging in lower impact aerobic exercises, like mowing the lawn or raking the yard, can lower BP and cholesterol.
- Decreases Risk of Dementia: Gardening assists in lowering the chance of dementia. However, it also helps those already diagnosed. Planting and growing allow improvements in sleep, agitation, and cognition in already confirmed dementia patients.
- Exposure to Vitamin D: Also known as the ‘Sunshine Vitamin,’ an increase in Vitamin D comes easily with gardening. Having strong vitamin D levels can help fight diseases like diabetes and osteoporosis.
- Weight Loss: Any sort of movement or exercise always aid in weight loss. Losing weight will improve and prevent numerous health problems.
Mental Benefits of Gardening:
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Gardening helps in decreasing stress and anxiety because it requires one task to be done at a time. This allows the mind to be focused on one thing and one thing only. It keeps the mind honed in on one goal and deters the mind from wandering.
- Boosts Self Esteem: Not everyone is born with a green thumb, that’s a given. However, it becomes a significant boost in self-esteem to see your first flower bloom or eat your first cucumber. After all, it is all your practice and hard work that has produced those fresh buds. It always feels good to accomplish new tasks and to continue to succeed.
- Improves Overall Mood: Everyone tends to feel better after a long walk through a park or an arboretum. That is because nature and greens release a significant amount of feel-good chemicals to the brain such as dopamine and serotonin. Creating and enjoying your own botanical garden sends subtle reminders to you and your family to feel relaxed and refreshed throughout your busy life.
Gardening is a hobby that influences your brain to think more in-depth in these specific categories:
- Creatively
- Strategically
- Functionally
One of the first things you have to design is the layout of your garden. You then will implement it. That requires a clear and healthy mind to be able to organize and execute properly. This pastime has the ability to benefit so many aspects of your health. It is an exercise that keeps you in tune with your every step.
Let Us Be Thankful for Putting Our Health First
Occasionally it can be hard to focus on the positive aspects of life. This can especially occur when there are so many things that are holding us back from what we want to achieve. As much as you will be itching to get back out in the flower patch, try to remember that your hip is your top priority.
Thankfully, even if you miss the beginning of the season for fresh vegetables, there is still time to produce an efficient garden. You will always have a chance to grow an indoor cactus for the same effects and benefits, it just might not taste as good. Keep in mind that in order for your garden to be healthy, you must be first.
The Final Word
Hip replacement surgery has come a long way in the past few years, and recovery time has gotten much better. Following your doctor’s orders and maintaining a good diet along with exercise will go a long way to speeding up your recovery time. You should be back on your feet and enjoying your normal routine, pain-free, within just a few months.
