Wellness, Brain Exercises.

Can wellness be as simple as a lifestyle change?

Wellness is defined as – “The quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort.” This means it’s more about feeling well for yourself.

There is no simple way to undo multiple years of misuse of our bodies.  Failure to adopt a lifestyle change results in returning to your old habits!

Wellness, some brain exercise suggestions

• Puzzles & Games – crosswords, Sudoku, word searches, chess, Scrabble, logic puzzles.

👥 Social & Interactive Learning

✅ Tip: The best brain activities are the ones that are new, challenging, and enjoyable. Routine tasks don’t stimulate the brain as much as learning something unfamiliar.

Taking some healthy cooking classes will teach you how to make healthy foods at home?   Perhaps a Chef LeeZ cooking class.
