Staying Active

To maintain your full wellbeing, keeping your body moving is essential! It can look different for everybody, whether it is chair yoga, daily walks or games.

"My grandma has always been a bit of a spitfire, she has maintained her physical activity so far. We go for walks around the neighbourhood and we also have a physio which helps to maintain her physical strength."

"We tend to get lazy, exercise is needed to keep our brains alive! My family will remind me to go for a walk outside, as it will really help to keep your brain healthy. All we need is a little a day."

"I am very active, some people say too active! It is really important for my cognitive health."

Get up and go

A simple one but very effective, get up and go out for a walk if you are able.

Keep activities handy

Keep a collection to hand of your favourite word puzzles, sudoku and quizzes for the quieter restful moments. This will help keep your brain active.
