Keep Healthy, Grab some Garden Living

We all know the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle and since the nation is currently on a red alert due to the outbreak of Swine Flu, never has it been more important to make sure you and your family take all the necessary precautions to stay well. Advice from NHS 24 suggests “staying at home and avoiding crowds of people could help you to avoid the virus” and that “leading a healthy lifestyle will help you to be better equipped to fight off infection… taking regular exercise, will help to keep you fit and healthy”. Taking on board this advice, coupled with the knowledge that stress can weaken the immune system leaving us vulnerable to infection, and it seems that spending more time in our very own stress free garden sanctuary is a sensible health savvy decision.
