Why gardening is one activity you need to pick up in 2021?

Greetings People!

A very Happy New Year to you all!!!

As we are stepping into 2021 many of you may have had a beautiful 2020 and some of you may have not but don't worry, as today I am going to tell you a small little secret, and that is 'gardening is one of the healthiest hobbies that you can develop at any point of time'. 

So, keep reading on to learn about the various benefits of gardening, for you and also to find an answer as to why gardening is one activity you need to pick up in 2021.

Without wasting much time let's dive right into the 3 reasons:

1. Gardening is a mood booster.

    We all know how gloomy and uncertain 2020 was. We were scared of going out, of contracting the virus, and a lot more things. In short, our moods went on a roller coaster ride last year.

 

    So, to get rid of all the bad moods and to grow into a better person you can take up gardening. Many studies have also found that gardening and spending time with nature improves your mood and increases your self-esteem. Now is the time to bid goodbye to all your sadness and anxiety and improve your mental health. 

2. Gardening helps build strength and promotes sleep.

    According to many studies, experts suggest that gardening is an exercise as it aids in helping the human body build up strength and helps to promote sleep which in turn betters our body. Also, people working in a garden use every major muscle group in their body leading to the overall development of an individual. Studies have also found that working in a garden can help offset age-related weight gain and child obesity. 

    Considering the above benefits you can also add gardening to your list of activities to be done in the year 2021.

3. Gardening can help your body fight diseases.

    You may not realize this fact but we as humans are very closely related to plants. Our wonderful bodies are capable of photosynthesis. Yes! you heard it right photosynthesis - the process where plants make their own food using sunlight. Don't worry I will try not to complicate it for you. Well your skin uses sunlight and converts it into the most essential nutrient that you need and it is none other than Vitamin D. 

    We know how essential Vitamin D is for us as hundreds of body functions rely on it, as it helps to strengthen our bones and immune systems. No-doubt overexposure of the sun's rays is also harmful for us so we have to try and maintain a balance. But the science is clear: A little sunshine in the garden everyday goes for a very long way in our bodies.

• To Sum it all up:

    Gardening is a very beneficial activity as it urges you to get out of the house, interact with other gardeners, helps you to take care of your bodies by exercising and involving physical work, and not to forget to beautify your surroundings and uplift your mood.

    What are you waiting for? 

Go grab all your gear such as gloves (as you need to keep your hands  clean), shovels, manure, seeds, soil and your other necessities and get going, get gardening!!!
