Here’s a quick tip to keep your mental state healthy as you age. Keep your mind agile and active with puzzles and reading. That means pick up a good crossword puzzle or that novel that’s been sitting by the bed for the last year. Studies have shown that these mental exercises help reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
We all know how important it is to exercise. You’ve probably heard it from everyone around you, including your doctors. Vigorous work-outs - when you're breathing hard and sweating - help your heart pump better, give you more energy and help you look and feel better. If you’re looking for the right kind of exercise for you, think about this. St. John’s is starting up a new fitness program. Each session is different so you can pick the one that is right for you. Some of the classes include, cycling, pilates, weight training or aerobics. To learn more or to sign up, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000 or log onto stj.com.
