The need to knit: how crafting can help your body and mind
Grabbing some knitting craft books and magazines and knitting supplies can of course provide the ingredients you need to produce decorative, warm works for you and your friends and family. But that’s not all that can come from this collection of supplies. These materials can also bring tremendous health benefits.
Studies have shown that knitting can have strong positive impacts on mental and physical health, especially for knitters of a more advanced age. On the mental side, knitting can help slow the effects of dementia and depression. And the concentration required to keep calm and carry on counting while knitting can help take one’s mind off of chronic pain. That’s because the repetitive movements that come with following a pattern and developing lines of material into a new piece release a substance in the brain called serotonin, which can help dull pain.
Don’t feel like you’re fit to knit? That’s quite alright, as there are plenty of other DIY crafting assistants on eBay ready and waiting to help. You’ll find inspiration and instruction for macrame, embroidery, cross-stitching and more, opening the doors to new crafting possibilities and avenues for your creative side.
