Lisa D's Health Tip: Smell That Dirt!!!

Feeling sad?? Maybe a little blue?? Go play in the dirt!! Here’s why:

Turns out….the smell of dirt is a mood lifter!  If you’re working with soil, take an nice deep breath! Scientists the smell of earthy scents contains organic compounds that work like antidepressants. Particles in dirt get churned up when you’re working with it which makes them easier to inhale and those particles trigger the release of the happy brain chemical serotonin.
