Allotments Make You Healthy
Allotment gardeners tend to be significantly healthier than those who do not tend allotments
November 26th, 2010 by Dr Agnes van den Berg
People who have an allotment, especially those aged over 60, tend to be significantly healthier than those who do not. Researchers writing in BioMed Central’s open access journal Environmental Health have shown that the small gardens were associated with increased levels of physical activity at all ages, and improved health and well-being in more elderly people.
Dave Gorvel allotments in St Martin in late November 2010 (click image to expand – ©RLLord) This is certainly what I agree with and I do have a spare allotment available at present.
So if you want to become more healthy, it is not only cheaper than the gym, you will also have five local vegetables to eat, as the Doctor ordered.
