Contributed by Ryan Peterson.

Your overall health should be your main priority. One minor setback in your health can be devastating, and not just physically. Occasionally, however, the thought of ‘doing what we should’ by going to the gym and eating celery sticks might become extremely boring and repetitive, causing us to slip up and fall into bad lifestyle habits. If you want to improve your mental, emotional, and physical health, there are things that you can incorporate into your daily routine. This list of fun and healthy activities is a great place to start.

Make your minder work harder.

It’s not uncommon for people who work regular 9 to 5 jobs to have days where they feel like crying because their work is so exhausting. In order to reduce the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s or Dementia later in life, it is critical that we keep our minds active throughout our lives. Make it a point to keep your mind sharp by participating in various activities, such as an escape room or puzzles and crosswords. 

There are plenty of mind training games you can use completely free online – and you can find solutions for your connectivity or computer issues yourself – without involving the kids for as long as possible!

Challenges that you wouldn’t otherwise encounter can be overcome by either working alone or in a group. As a bonus, you’ll be having a good time while doing it!
