Turn Your Compost to Lose Weight!
Check out this great article by Star Lawrence about how gardening can contribute to your health by allowing you to get exercise and loose a few pounds here and there. Gardeners know that spending a few hours in your garden every week can really do wonders for your mental health, in addition to your physical health.
Jeff Restuccio, author of Fitness the Dynamic Gardening Way, is a first-degree black belt but found he was getting more exercise playing in the garden with his kids. “I like gardening because it’s purposeful,” he tells WebMD. “With food so cheap in the stores, you may not save money growing your own, but the chances are, if you grew it, your family will eat it.”
So get out there and start digging!
