We've always talked about growing our own veg on our back garden for ages, but there's only so much you can do with a limited amount of space. Whereas an allotment has an area roughly the size of our entire house & garden. OODLES OF ROOM!!
What does this have to do with keeping active you say? Watching stuff grow seems a fairly redundant way of keeping fit and active..
Have you ever spent an afternoon digging soil?? Planting?? Harvesting fruit/veg?? It's a lot of damn work. You've got to tend to it regularly or you won't grow anything. It's a brilliant way of staying active.
Why else should you grow your own fruit and veg? You can get healthy food that's inexpensive from any supermarket, and I don't have to spend all this time and effort growing it.
You may have seen this before..
Stella advice on the whole, but the important bits here are "avoid processed foods" and "eat plenty of organic fruit and veg".
Mass produced fruit and veg aren't as good for you as home-grown/organic fruit and veg. Even if you don't look at what they've done to GMOs that reduce the amount of good stuff that comes in fruit and veg, the crap they spray on it is so incredibly bad, you wouldn't trust it to clean your toilet, let alone clean your food.

HAPPY DIGGING!
