No matter your age, a healthy body is the key to a healthy brain. Make a commitment today to get your body and your brain working together.
Here are some helpful tips for a physically active mind:
- Engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day to encourage new brain cells and connections; walk, play sports, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or do something you enjoy outdoors
- Don’t lose any sleep over your physical health – try to get approximately seven to eight hours of sleep each day
- See your doctor regularly to help monitor your health and ensure you’re in tip-top shape
- Don’t smoke
- Maintain a healthy weight to minimize your risk for diabetes, high cholesterol and hypertension
