5 Reasons why gardening is good for you

0 2781

Feeling bored, losing passion, or not knowing what to do?

REAL ASSET recommends a simple yet powerful activity that benefits both you and the planet — gardening. Not only will you have a beautiful green space to admire, but gardening also comes with surprising health benefits. Today, let’s explore the positive changes that happen when you spend time in the garden.


Relieves Stress: If you’re feeling stressed, gardening might be the perfect remedy. A study in the Netherlands tested two groups: one did gardening while the other read indoors. The results showed that those who gardened had lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and reported feeling happier and more relaxed compared to the other group.


Keeps the Brain Sharp: Gardening is more challenging than it looks. From planning and planting to problem-solving and observation, it constantly engages your brain. According to research from Australia, gardening can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by up to 36%, making it an excellent activity for long-term brain health.


Lowers the Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke: Cardiovascular diseases are among the most serious health threats we face. A Swedish study on seniors revealed that those who garden regularly tend to stay healthier and lower their risk of heart disease and stroke by 30%. Gardening, therefore, isn’t just a hobby — it’s an investment in your long-term well-being.


Restores Tired Eyes: The refreshing green of plants and trees naturally soothes tired eyes. Spending time in the garden helps relax your vision, improves focus, and can even reduce the risk of eye-related conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts.


Boosts Health with Morning Sunlight: There’s nothing better than enjoying the warm morning sunlight while gardening. The best time is between 6:00 – 8:00 AM, when your body absorbs vitamin D that strengthens bones, supports immunity, and reduces depression. However, after this period, it’s best to avoid direct exposure since UV levels rise.

Because good things begin when we reconnect with nature.
