Gardening not only helps older adults stay in shape, but it also makes their hands strong and nimble, according a new study. What's more the green activity boosts their self-esteem. In an earlier study, researches at Kanasas State University have shown that gardening can offer enough moderate phsycial activity to keep older adults in shape.
In the latest study it was discovered that among the other health benefits of gardeing is keeping older hands strong and lively.
One of the things we found is that older adults who are gardeners have better hand strenght and pinch force, which is a big concern as you age".
