Keeping your mind and time actively engaged in various social activities will help to keep you sharp! Whether it is a monthly dinner with friends, a new card club, or volunteering for change, socialization is a key ingredient to a long and healthy lifestyle.

Socialization Choices

• Dinner with friends or family- invite those local college grandkids over for a good meal
• Take a class- pottery, cooking, or ballroom dancing
• Doubles Tennis or Golf with a friend
• Check out your local Silver Sneakers walking club through your YMCA
• Chess in the park or through a club (great to stimulate your brain)
• Volunteer with an organization you feel passionate about

No matter what you choose, just getting out there and having some smiles with others is good for the heart, mind, and body!
