How your community can help you stay physically healthy and stimulated:
Being with a person while they exercise can be motivating, even if it’s just going for a walk.
Good nutrition is a key part of keeping physically healthy, but it can be challenging . See if your family or friends might want to go shopping together, share healthy recipes or plan out meals together.
Regular physical check-ups with a doctor are important to identify any areas of concern. Ask to arrange regular appointments and ask for support at the appointment, if you need it.
Exercising the mind: You can exercise your mind by doing things that are a bit challenging. Keeping an active mind can help you feel good and think more clearly.
