Healthy gardening tips ...
Enjoy gardening--and avoid related aches and pains.
* Protect your joints: Choose tools with padded handles and a spring-action self-opening feature to reduce excess pressure on your hands and fingers.
* Conserve energy: Use a kneeler seat, take rest breaks and stop work before becoming overtired.
* Save your back: Squat before lifting heavy things. Don't lean over to lift.
* Plan smart: Start with a small garden area located near your house and the water supply.
* Save your macula for later years: Wear UV protective glasses even on cloudy days
