\"\"<\/a>I grew up in New York City and still live in a big city, so I start this post with a disclaimer that this is not something that I have personal experience with. However, I have heard many of my clients discuss how much they enjoy gardening and how meditative and wonderful it is.\u00a0 Today I came across this article<\/a> which explains how a certain bacteria called Mycobacterium, which occurs naturally in soil, has the same effect on your brain as anti-depressant medications.<\/p>\n

It makes sense!\u00a0 A lot of city dwellers tend to find peace and refuge out in nature. Gardening is something that can also help you to bond with food in a healthy way, watching it grow in its purest state in small batches rather than buying or consuming it in large batches.<\/p>\n

If you have the ability to garden, I say go for it, if not, why not get out and play in the dirt? Might be something to do\u00a0 to pass the time and help you to find some peace instead of binge eating.<\/p>\n
