Mental Fitness is very important for your wellness!

Hello guys! I hope you all are doing great! You guys have always shown love to my blogs and as I always say you guys are the reason that motivates me to write more and more.

The topic I chose for the blog, as you can see in Mental Health. In my previous blogs I had covered about physical health, about a healthy diet and sleeplessness and it was just during the last blog that was on sleeplessness it struck me the mental well being is equally,  no not equally but is the most important thing a person need to know before he can be fit mentally! 

I believe in majority of the cases person try to become physically fit only when other people start commenting on the looks of that person.Like when somebody says a fat person how fat he/ she is they would join a gym or start a diet! And all this hard work is done just in order to get a good compliment by others. No their is not bad about it who doesn't want to get good compliments about how they look, but yes these compliments are not permanent. They stay with you until your physically fit but if your mentally fit, then no matter what other think about you, it won't matter until and unless your happy with yourself! The happiness you get in order to satisfy your needs apart from just getting other people's compliment, is what is permanent! This doesn't mean I am asking you to stop being physically fit, but along with that we must all also be mentally fit! So let's dive right into some of the points that can help you be mentally fit! 

The brain is like a muscle – if you don’t give it a regular workout, it loses tone.

Here are some tips to help you improve your mental fitness:

1. Exercise for 30 minutes every day. Physical exercise delivers oxygen to the brain. This can help to improve your memory, reasoning abilities and reaction times.
2. Read often and read widely. Keeping an active interest in the world around you will help to exercise your brain and improve your mental fitness.
3. Boost your levels of vitamin B. Eat plenty of wholegrain cereals, leafy greens and dairy foods. Vitamin B is essential to brain health.
4. Challenge your intellect and memory. Stretch yourself mentally by learning a new language, doing the cryptic crossword or playing chess. This is important for brain health and good for your social life.
5. Take time to relax. Excess stress hormones like cortisol can be harmful to the brain. Schedule regular periods of relaxation into your week.
6. Take up a new hobby. Learning something new gives the ‘grey matter’ a workout and builds neural pathways in the brain.
7. Actively manage your health.Conditions such as diabetes or heart disease can affect mental performance if not diagnosed and treated. Have regular check-ups with your doctor to prevent future problems.
8. Engage in stimulating conversations. Talk to friends and family about a wide range of topics. This gives your brain an opportunity to explore, examine and enquire.
9. Take up a manual activity or craft. Hobbies such as woodwork and sewing or activities like skipping require you to move both sides of the body at the same time, in precise movements. This can help to improve your spatial awareness and increase your reaction time.
10. Exercise your brain with others. Watch, question and answer game shows and enjoy the competitive spirit. Involve the family in regular games to test their general knowledge.
