Wednesday, March 14: Physical and Brain Exercise
Keeping your whole body active – including your brain – is a simple and effective key to maintaining wellness. Exercising releases endorphins that promote better mood, reduced perception of pain, and even euphoric feelings. Regular exercise improves self-esteem, sleep, reduces stress, and is a protective factor against feelings of depression and anxiety.
Keeping your brain active via brain games, learning new things, and using all of your senses can ward off ‘mental fog’ and keep you sharp.
