Discovering the many benefits of gardening & art
How POP BOX is empowering mental & physical health
- Improve Physical Health - Gardening is a great way to get some regular physical exercise and improve muscle strength and stamina, which maintains coordination, flexibility and balance. Gardening offers mild to moderate exercise which has been shown to help reduce Body Mass Index (BMI).
- Improve Mental Health - Research shows that gardening & art are highly effective in improving mental health, social functioning and preventing cognitive decline. Implementing creative activities into a daily routine helps to release any stress or sadness as these activities stimulate dopamine production, the feel-good chemical in our brain.
- Increase Emotional Wellbeing - Experience success growing from seeds can lead to an increase in self-esteem, feelings of competence, and spiritual connection.
- Promotes Self-Care and Compassion - Looking after plants is like looking after ourselves; it takes time and effort to thrive, so be kind to yourself and set aside time outdoors to do precisely what you want to do.
- Support Recovery - Gardening is widely used to support recovery from illness, injury and bereavement.
- Grow Your Own Healthy Diet - Research by the British Heart Association has shown that diets higher in plant foods and lower in animal foods may be linked to a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, or other cardiovascular disease, notably a 32% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Fruit & Veg are also very important for positive weight management and managing diabetes..
