Gardening has surprising benefits for your health that many people are not aware of. There’s no greater feeling than taking care of your health, and making you feel your best. 

And it’s no surprise that our American culture loves to feel accomplished, and the rewards of working hard. 

However, all that hard work makes us work for the weekend, unlike other countries where they get to enjoy the now and live life at a slower pace. 

So when the weekend comes, it's hard to rest. 

Chores and errands pile up, making it challenging to prioritize the hobbies you love, and the ones that will maximize your health. 

But what if I told you that you can have both? Rest, and hard work? To experience the feeling of relaxation while also accomplishing something beautiful! 

A source from the National Library of Medicine explores this idea called “green care” where professionals are turning to holistic approaches to heal a generation of over-medicated and health-declining populations. 

While medicine always has its place, it alone will not give you what the body also requires; sunlight, exercise, and a sense of purpose.

Green care looks like spending less time in facilities and more time outside, specifically in your yards. It means taking a holistic approach for life-long benefits instead of temporary fixes. 

Reduces Anxiety

Our generation has a crippling amount of anxiety and panic these days. But nature! Just spending a few minutes outside, grounding with your feet in the grass, or fingers in the dirt can boost your mood and calm your nerves. 

A source from Healthline explains that through grounding, there is evidence that suggests that “the natural defenses of the body can be restored.”

Grounding is that instinctual desire to run barefoot in the yard, or simply stand feet immersed in the grass, letting your childhood wonder sweep over you again. 

The body will instantly feel restored and calmed, as you walk along the cool grass. 

Cultivate life 

Many people who enter retirement immerse themselves in gardening, given their free time and the known benefits that nature brings like reducing the risk and prevalence of dementia.

Human nature has always loved to take care of things. The desire to nurture, plant, water, and oversee your gardens comes from that innate desire to cultivate life. 

The best part is that you don’t have to wait until retirement to do so! 

Instead of being on your phone, head outside for a walk around your yard and begin planting. The cathartic feeling of your hands in the dirt, and beauty around you will give you an immediate sense of calm and accomplishment! The best low-maintenance tasks that will reap a harvest.

They are a great option for lining your homes, extending your driveways, bringing more attention to your tulips and rose bushes, and will make your yard a true oasis of peace and tranquility. 

Spend less time on the edging and maintenance, and more time on the fun part like watering your flowers, and sipping your iced tea on the patio, lined with faux edging stones. 

With Beuta, given their lightweight nature, you won’t have to strain your back installing these. With just a hammer, you’ll be able to secure these along your home with the anchoring spikes that they come with! 

An easy job, ‘done in a day’ kind of edging, letting you get back to your outdoor hobbies, and skip the payment for the landscaper.

Vitamin D 

Combine physical activity with nature, rather than staring at the four walls of a gym. Exert your energy to burn calories outside, in softer ways that don’t feel as taxing. 

The digging, stretching, lifting of dirt, and pulling of weeds are great recovery options for those who are recovering from a stroke or ailments that require physical therapy in a facility.
