A research shows that gardening helps children to stay healthy<\/h2>\n

\"Gardening<\/p>\n

The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior has just published a research<\/a> on the impact of gardening<\/strong> on children,<\/strong> discovering many benefits<\/strong>, including on their health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The experiment was carried out in four schools in California<\/strong> that adopted a program to improve the well-being<\/strong> of the youngest, growing a vegetable garden in the schools\u00a0by 9-10 year old students<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Gardening<\/p>\n

So 400 small gardeners<\/strong> sowed, groomed, watered fruit and vegetables that were then cooked both in the school chest and in the children’s home.
\nThe results were amazing: scientists reported significant improvements in children engaged in gardening.
\nBody mass index (BMI) and weight-height ratio are improved. In the group where there were overweight<\/strong> or obese children<\/strong> there was a drop from 55.6 percent to 37.8.<\/p>\n

In addition to combating the serious problem of childhood<\/strong> obesity<\/strong>, gardening gives free vent to the fantasy of the little ones, helps to relax and teaches the rules of a good and healthy nutrition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Gardening<\/p>\n

Even holidays can be the right time to spend a few hours in nature<\/strong>, picking up the products directly from the garden<\/strong>. At this link<\/a> you can find beautiful and suggestive farmhouses where to dive in nature and work in the fields together with your kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
