Can you believe it?
Gardening is not just about growing yummy herbs and veggies.
It’s a full-blown brain booster! 🧠🌿
One meta-analysis of a research, published in the journal Preventative Medicine Reports…
Found that gardening chops down depression, anxiety, and even body mass index. Talk about a green thumb power-up.
Now, get this: Our garden soil is like a chill pill.
It's packed with Mycobacterium vaccae, a natural antidepressant microbe that boosts serotonin levels and kicks anxiety to the curb.
Gardeners are aware of this.
Which is why, despite starting with gloves, we end up with our hands joyfully plunged in the dirt.
Haven’t you noticed it?
When we’re gardening…
Our minds feel freer
Our moods feel lighter
Even our bodies feel stronger.
It’s like doing yoga, but with earthworms as our buddies. 🧘♀️🌼
The feel of the soil, the peep of sprouting seeds, the whisper of leaves, and the perfume of flowers.
And hey, it’s not just about feeling good.
According to the same research, gardening boosts life satisfaction, quality of life, and even stitches together a sense of community.
So, next time you gear up with your gardening gloves, why not take a moment to ditch them?
Feel the soil's embrace, get that connection from mother nature that your body secretly desires.
Gardening is more than a hobby – it’s our ticket to a happier, healthier life.
Let’s dig in, one handful of soil at a time
