To an uninitiated person it may seem that a dacha takes away a person’s strength, time and most precious thing – health.

That it would be cheaper to buy locally grown vegetables and fruits at a fair, and that instead of standing in the garden it would be better to do sports.

Is it true that working in the country is only associated with damage to health and can working in the garden replace sports, Sports.kz tells with reference to the Telegram channel "Evil Doctor Filatov".

The author of the publication refers to research conducted in the United States in 2019, where at least 146 thousand Americans over 65 years of age are employed in private farmsteads.

It was then possible to find out that working in a garden plot or vegetable garden allows American gardeners to meet the daily exercise requirements recommended by experts.

As is known, supporters of a healthy lifestyle are recommended to devote at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week.

That is, we can say that working on a plot of land reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

It is only important to "rest" in the garden correctly. To do this, you need to assess your strength and stick to physical activity of "medium intensity".
