Play Outside - As adults, we spend 90% of our time indoors, so eat your lunch outside or take a walk after dinner.
Sleep - Over 35% of adults get less than 7 hours of sleep per night, adding physical and mental stress which impacts our mood. Good sleep restores our bodies, memory, creativity and problem-solving skills
Make friends - As we get older we interact with fewer people so join a team or club, start a hobby. Having an in-person social life will add years to your life.Thanks for reading,

Partnering with community outreach organizations to stretch outside their comfort zone; paying employees a living wage, they are now working towards increasing wages to a family living wage.
