Unhealthy food, high levels of stress and lack of physical activity are all associated with an increased risk of developing cancer.
But recently, scientists have come to the conclusion that one additional hobby can reduce the level of the problem.
American experts have stated that gardening is beneficial.
Moreover, it is not only about home-grown vegetables and fruits, but also about the fact that a person gets additional physical activity.
Also, working in the garden and communicating with other gardeners helps people reduce stress and anxiety levels.
Scientists discussed this in more detail in an article in the journal Lancet Planetary Health.
As it became known, the researchers decided to conduct an experiment with the participation of middle-aged volunteers.
Participants learned the basics of growing crops and then began to green their plots. As a result, it turned out that people really did start to lead a more active lifestyle and also began to consume seven percent more fiber. In addition, gardeners became calmer.
