Welcome to Season 3 of the Essence of Health Tea Time podcast!
Studies have shown that gardening provides significant physical and mental health benefits and have found that regular gardening can lower risk of developing age related cognitive issues and lower one’s risk of cardiovascular disease when compared to non-gardeners. Additionally, research has demonstrated the superior nutritional value of homegrown fruits and vegetables compared to store-bought produce including providing more natural vitamins and antioxidants in their homegrown state.
Incorporating gardening into your healthy lifestyle is a good way to improve your physical and mental well-being, for better overall health.
On today's episode, Dr. Shayla will be joined by a special guest, Karen Creel and they will be spilling “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”.
