Topic: Mental fitness

Physical fitness gets plenty of attention, and for good reason. A healthy body can prevent conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, and help you maintain independence as you age. Mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness, and shouldn’t be neglected. Including mental dexterity exercises into your daily routine can help you reap the benefits of a sharper mind and a healthier body for years to come. Mental fitness means keeping your brain and emotional health in tip- top shape. It doesn’t mean training for “brain Olympics” or acing an IQ test. It refers to a series of exercises that help you:
• slow down
• decompress
• boost a flagging memory
Dr. Sreeraj spoke about “The importance of mental fitness”, “Mind-Body connection”, “Benefits of mental fitness”, “how to keep fit in this pandemic”, and “Being positive with oneself”. Mental fitness is important in maintaining your brain and your body healthy, especially as you age. There are many types of mental dexterity exercises, and you don’t need to go to the gym to do them. They include active ones, such as learning a new song or playing a game, as well as restful ones, such as relaxation, and visualization exercises. Schedule a mental fitness break into your calendar right next to your workout schedule. Your mind and your health are worth it. “Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It’s the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.”
