Give Your Brain a Workout

Being fit and active has many benefits.  A workout gives you energy, helps reduce overall body fat, raises your heart rate, and increases endorphins!  It’s obvious that exercise has a myriad of benefits, one of them being stronger muscles.  But being healthy physically doesn’t mean we should neglect ourselves mentally.  Mental strength and fitness goes a long way in overall health.

Mental fitness is as simple if you follow these simple practices.  Make time to read articles online, read a chapter of a book, listen to a podcast, do something creative, have a discussion about politics with a friend, ANYTHING.  Being mentally active helps us engage with others and be alert for the long-term.  Do you try any of these practices daily?
