It helps if you have a health issue that doesn't affect your digestion too much. Severe intestinal issues might make it very difficult to eat plant-based diets, as plant-matter is pretty hard to digest and most plant-based proteins might be fully off the table as well.

Health issues can just fuck up everything you wouldn't even think about, really. Hell, I'm trying to drink juice instead of water and eating a lot of salt on doctor's orders, which is pretty much the opposite they'd usually tell you to do

It helps me to garden because my health concerns are mostly becoming overly tired and physically uhhh sad. So the work can make those two lessened.

It's not very feasible for my husband who has cerebral palsy unless we did a lot of expensive setup so he could do most of it seated.
