I’d asked Stewart, who was promoting her advisory role with Miracle-Gro lawn and garden products, about the health-inducing aspects of gardening. She concurred that chemical-free gardening is key (“I have always been an organic gardener. I do not spray, I do not use harsh chemicals. I use organic soils. I want to eat, or use things that I have grown in as pure and nice an atmosphere as possible.”). But it’s the simplicity of her up-and-at-’em message that she really drove home.
“It is so important to commune with nature; [noted cardiologist] Eric Topol just wrote a book called Super Agers,” Stewart said. “And the number one thing that super agers all do, the ones that are successful in getting aging well, is spend time outdoors.”
Point taken, Martha. Parka on, walking tall.
