Even without these known risks, overall health can benefit from these strategies: [6. healthhub.sg]<\/p><ul><li><p><strong>Encourage exercise.\u00a0<\/strong>Staying fit and spending quality time with family and friends contribute to health and well-being. Keeping the body and mind active reduces the risk of dementia.\u00a0During the week, moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes. Choose an appropriate action for your age and physical condition, and start at a comfortable level.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><strong>Be Socially Engaged.<\/strong> Build and maintain relationships. It&#8217;s always possible to make genuine friendships. Be friendly to your neighbors by smiling and saying hello. Join the Tai Chi session on the weekends. Play with your grandchildren and teach them what they love. It&#8217;s an afternoon of painting, cooking, and chatting over tea.<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><p><strong>Mentally Active.\u00a0<\/strong>Play more. Stimulate your mind through reading. Go to the library and borrow books and magazines. Enjoy card games, board games, and Sudoku in your spare time.\u00a0Learn new skills. If you&#8217;ve never played an instrument before, it&#8217;s time to start. On weekends, you can also learn further dance steps and foreign languages. Are you tired of making the same dish over and over? Try new recipes and share cooking secrets with your friends. <br \/>Visiting newly opened food courts and restaurants with family and friends is also fun.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><ul><li><p><strong>Take Control of Your Health. <\/strong>Manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and get regular checkups. A strong and healthy heart supplies enough blood to the brain. This will keeps the brain well-fed and healthy. Keep your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels within acceptable limits. If you are on medication, take it faithfully and seek treatment early to avoid possible complications from these conditions. Maintain your ideal weight. Maintaining an average body mass index (BMI) helps control blood pressure and cholesterol levels. No smoking.
