Gardening is not only good exercise, it’s good for the soul and the brain. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. If you didn’t plant this year, put it on your list of things to do for next year. Gardening allows you to control your own food source, free of harmful chemicals and over-processed soil. The very act of gardening is good exercise and gives you exposure to clean air and the sun for vitamin D production. It has even been shown to be a major source of stress relief as it helps lower cortisol levels. Remember, high cortisol is associated with weight gain and chronic inflammation. Garden longer, live longer.
