The vast majority of the produce that is sold in supermarkets goes through a lengthy process that includes being harvested, transported by ship, and distributed to numerous supermarkets. After this, the majority of the produce spends some time in storage or on a shelf before being bought. They lose nutritional value and they aren’t fresh.
When you cultivate your own food, you have the peace of mind of knowing that the product you are eating was not grown with any potentially hazardous chemicals or pesticides. Because you use organic methods, the food you consume will have the highest possible nutritional value. You also get to eat freshly harvested food, which is much tastier as well.
Growing your own fruits and veggies may take up some of your time throughout the day, but it is time that will undoubtedly be put to good use. People who are struggling with their mental health are often advised to get outside in the fresh air and engage in physical activity. Gardening is an excellent approach to managing stress and anxiety. Your level of daily activity is bound to increase as a result of the numerous efforts involved in the production of vegetables and fruits, including sowing seeds, taking care and harvesting the produce when ready.
If you successfully care for a plant from the time it is a seedling until it has matured into vegetables that are ready to be picked, you will feel a tremendous feeling of pride and achievement in this endeavour. If you are fortunate, you will end up with plenty of food to give to your friends, as well. In doing so, you will contribute to the spread of an appreciation for produce that has been grown at home.
