Keeping
the
Mind
active
is
equally,
if
not
more
important,
as
going
to
the
gym
to
build
tone
and
strengthen
muscle,
maintaining
a
healthy
diet
and
participating
in
brain
exercises
such
as
crossword
puzzles,
word,
searches
and
other
activities
can
help.
I
also
recommend
remaining
active
through
interactions
with
others
and
maintaining
supports
in
the
community
to
stay
engaged.
