(HealthNewsDigest.com) – A global gardening survey has revealed that 70% of the UK prefers home-grown fruit and vegetables to produce bought elsewhere. Shockingly, 95% of people asked thought that growing your own food was a modern pastime.
The results come as the summer season presents the perfect opportunity for green fingered growers to head out into the sun and grow their own produce for the whole family.
An age old favourite past-time, growing your own food is the perfect way for families to track what goes into their food. With help of sites such as Garden Aware, gardeners of all levels are finding it easier than ever to start their own patch and cultivate their own produce.
Shad Zac, Owner of Garden Aware said, “The survey results show just how much people are beginning to appreciate home-grown produce. No longer are households turning to processed food which contains a number of hidden ingredients and potential pesticides.
“By developing a grow-your-own patch, gardeners can take pride in their food and rest safe in the knowledge that they are 100% sure of what they are putting into their bodies.”
Starting a growing patch offers a myriad of benefits for gardeners, not only is there calming psychological affects, health benefits include lower blood pressure, increased hand dexterity and lower chances of stroke and heart disease.
Home grown food is also believed to taste better and reduce carbon emissions thanks to the omission of air travel. Campaigners may say that grow-your-own is expensive, but once the patch develops, it can pay for itself in savings alone.
Zac added, “Gardening has many benefits, but nothing compares to the magic of seeing your plants come to life. Whether you are growing tomatoes, lettuces, broccoli or potatoes, all gardens can be adapted to suit dietary needs.”
