According to the Cleveland Clinic, gardening isn't just good for your environment or plate, it's also good for your physical and mental wellbeing. Considered a weight-bearing exercise -- the lifting, walking, and standing -- it's a "whole body exercise" that supports bone health. Don't discount the time in the sun, too, to encourage vitamin D creation that helps calcium get absorbed more efficiently. Let's not skip the mental wellness:
✅Relieve stress
✅Improve mood
✅Lower risk of dementia
✅Foster social connections

It's gardening season, so get out there and exercise your body and mind for your overall wellness. Just make sure you're using good form and not overdoing it to avoid injury. Read the full article online: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/benefits-of-gardening
