Don't You Feel Better When You Spend Time Outside?

Gardening is beneficial for arthritis and stroke recovery, as it encourages you to use the parts of the body that were affected. It is also useful for people who have social disabilities, and it can boost the mood as well as the cognition of people suffering from dementia. Its overall impact on well-being has caused some doctors to start prescribing horticultural therapy to patients who are recovering from illness or are dealing with anxiety or depression. The fresh air plays a big role, and the focus on plants and weeds takes people's minds off their pain.
