Making a beeline and escaping to the blissful hideaway of their garden shed could be beneficial to men’s health. Research done by Alan White in the men’s health department in Leeds Metropolitan University, shows that having some alone time far away from the chaotic and conflicting world of the family home will help men to improve well-being and actually live longer. A forever cherished escapism, men have always needed that small seclusion to complete jobs, store their things and relieve some stress. There has been proven therapeutic benefits to pottering around and doing small jobs in the bottom of the garden, it can lower blood pressure and even boost self-esteem.

It can be beneficial for men to take part in relaxing activities in the home or in the garden. Men are less likely to check out their health and report any problems that they are having, pride is one of the main factors stopping men from seeking health advice and this factor is always going to be present in the modern day society. Health experts say a shed may improve their health and allow them to feel relaxed enough with friends to discuss any issues and seek out the correct medical advice that they need. The original scheme from Age Concern ‘Men in Sheds’ started in Australia and is now being adopted across the UK in hope it will help to reduce health problems for men across Great Britain.
