Gardening can start healthy habits leading to weight loss and a diet full of nutritious natural foods high in vitamins and minerals. It is not too late to start a garden or tuck a few more interesting vegetables and herbs into an already established plot. In fact, this is a perfect time to pick up mature plants at reduced prices at the nearest garden store. Gardening provides a plethora of foods and seasonings, high in nutrition and low in calories.
If you do not have an established vegetable plot, look for places in a flowerbed where tasty herbs can add a spot of interest and fragrance to the bed. Herbs make wonderful no-calorie and no salt seasoning for vegetables, meats, and poultry. These can replace high-calorie sauces and salt in almost any dish. Trying new herbal seasoning recipes with plants grown right in your yard can be a satisfying and healthy habit.
Try several pots on the deck with tomato plants, a few peppers, and a pot packed with herbs for delicious fresh salads, sure to help with quick weight loss. If you love salads buy some snow pea, spinach, and lettuce seeds to plant late in the summer. These are cool weather plants that will produce nutritious fat burner salads into the late fall.
Fresh air and daily gardening chores will help your body get gentle exercise. Bending and stretching to weed and harvest help increase flexibility and provide a soothing workout with a purpose. Sweating in the gym is not as satisfying as getting some exercise in your own garden that produces nutrition you and your family. Sunshine and fresh air will calm the nerves and help you get restful sleep. Remember that good, sound sleep is another key to maintaining weight loss.
It is the perfect time to get outside, put some vegetables in the soil, and start another healthy habit that supports lasting weight loss.
