Earth in the Vegetable Garden Works Like Antidepressants
There are several bacteria in the Earth. When they come into contact with the skin, your serotonin level automatically rises. This lucky substance serotonin boosts your immune system and is also a natural remedy for depression.
Another way to induce the happiness hormone serotonin is by harvesting your own fruits and vegetables. This is due to very early days when man was still a hunter-gatherer. Every edible berry we found at the time allowed us to survive longer. Every vegetable gardener experiences that happiness when he harvests something or sees his own vegetables
Contact with Earth is good for health. Working in your vegetable garden and contact with the earth will bring you into contact with bacteria. Kids gain microbes by getting 'dirty'.
They are bacteria that promote the production of vitamin B12 in the body. Microbes in the stomach convert nutrients into vitamin B12. Man needs only little vitamin B12. All B12 produced by the body is stored in the liver and kidneys. When the body has a vitamin B12 deficiency, it is supplemented by the stored B12.
Home gardening is healthy
The winter depression and the wonderful feeling when the sun shines and you can work in your garden again has to do not only with vitamin D, but also bacteria. Contact with bacteria ensure good intestinal flora. All kinds of bacteria that live in the soil can also be found in our gut. Freshly picked vegetables contain beneficial bacteria; you don't have to wash your own vegetables (as long as you don't use pesticides). You can also inhale bacteria when you're on the ground.
Healthy microbes living in the soil can inhibit inflammation and increase serotonin levels in the body.
Mycobacterium vaccae, a bacterium related to the causative agent of tuberculosis. Vacca means cow, the bacterium got this name because it was first grown from cow manure in Austria. These non-tuberculous mycobacteria also live in manure, compost, and earth. M.vaccae affects the brain (via the gut brain axis) and can produce serotonin itself. Serotonin is a brain hormone that is formed primarily in the intestine and has a positive effect on our moods.
Joy
Mycobacterium can be administered as an antidepressant, it decreases depression and anxiety. Matthews and her colleague Jenks gave M.vaccae to mice. As a result, the animals navigated a maze twice as quickly as quickly as they had less anxiety, and fewer mistakes. The antidepressant effect of these soil bacteria remains tangible for three weeks.
The bacteria stimulate immune reactions. Injections of M.vaccae substances can be used in tuberculosis. The bacterium decreases complaints that occur in Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. Use would have a beneficial effect in asthma, eczema and psoriasis.
The garden and the earth have a lot to offer. Undoubtedly, other soil bacteria also affect our intestinal flora and can improve our mood. It turns out that sick people and cancer patients experience less stress when working in the garden, and contact with bacteria will also play a role in them.

Hoi Vivian, zou je #Tags willen toevoegen aan de artikelen waarbij ze ontbreken, zo kan ik ze makkelijk delen!
nou je bent gelijk een top hit geworden met je artikel 571 doorverwijzingen staan er bij mijn naam. ongelofelijk
Wat een leuk artikel, ik heb hem gedeeld met onze Wijktuin 'de groene vinger' in Alphen aan den Rijn, te bekijken op www.groenalphen.com
Goh, ik wist niet dat dat zo werkte, door microben. Wel weet ik dat ik in mijn meest depressieve periodes, als ik al wat deed, in de tuin werkte.
Heel traag, weinig effectief, maar toch...
Heel traag, weinig effectief, maar toch...
Wist al wel dat het zo was maar wist niet precies hoe het werkte. Leuk om te lezen.
op die manier ga ik het nog leuk vinden om in de tuin te werken, het zien groeien en het eten van eigen moestuin dingen vind ik natuurlljk nu al heerlijk
Er bestaat voor mij geen betere ontspanning. Alhoewel bloggen er dicht bij in de buurt komt.
Ik word überhaupt heel gelukkig van mijn moestuin. Of dat door de aarde komt, geen idee. Maar het telen van je eigen groenten en de natuur zijn best zien doen om je te voeden, is prachtig!
