Well maybe for your cardio workout, but taking care of your heart involves more than just making it beat faster. Eating healthy is a big part of taking care of your heart as well as the rest of your body and mind. Gardening in the humidity and heat of even the mildest of summers not only takes a lot out of you, it can threaten your health. Why not move that garden indoors, with no muss-no fuss, and grow the heart healthiest vegetables known to man. What’s more, you can grow them without messy potting soil and dirt.
This is a method of growing vegetables, fruits and flowers without potting soil or other messy dirt. Water (and ample humidity), nutrients (keep balanced PH) and the right kind of light and you can grow heart healthy foods in the comfort of your own home year round in all kinds of weather. No more frost, heat, drought, bugs, worms, weeds… God I hate weeds! So now that you realize you can grow healthy foods in your house, what foods should you concentrate on? Well, foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids are great for cardiac health.
The right fresh hydroponically grown veggies can supply your heart with endless quantities of omega three fatty acids.
