The science is in: The best thing you can do to maintain good health is to be physically and mentally active.
Physical activity stimulates your lungs, heart and circulatory system, and virtually every other part of your body. It makes you better able to fight off infections, and also improves your mental state and mood.
Your brain also needs stimulation to stay healthy. Reading, playing games and being with other people are all essential to long-term mental health. Playing sports, dancing and socializing are key to avoiding depression.
It doesn’t have to be extreme nor expensive. Research shows that just having fun with other people makes a difference for physical and mental health.
