It is considered that gardening is one of the best heart-healthy things you can do. The definition of cardiovascular health is "the ability of the heart and lungs to provide oxygen-rich blood for muscle tissue to function and the muscle's ability to use oxygen for energy for movement." You need to incorporate cardiovascular activity into your routine to live a long and healthy life.
