Gardening is Good For Your Health

Posted on Jul 14, 2009 3:12 PM

I was reading where "Researchers discovered that growing your own food (however little work it takes)is better for your health than anyone ever realized," says Psychology Today. The research showed when "certain strains of soil-borne mycobacteria" were ingested, they "stimulated the human immune system." The magazine also says, "it looks increasingly like ingesting components of the soil itself might be as critical to human health as the very finest fruits and veggies grown in it." I had an organic garden and my youngest loved planting things and watching them grow, but we moved to a little lake community and I had not bothered to start another garden. I've changed my mind. I guess we should all have a garden and get our kid's involved. Who knew it was that healthy!
