Traveling

Day sleep

Deep breathe
Special exercises can improve mood and reduce the level of psychological stress, which increases the likelihood of cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, and depression.
More communication
Research proves that good social connections reduce the risk of premature death, while loneliness and isolation increase it. Lack of communication can be associated with heart disease, decreased immunity, or deterioration of brain function.
Getting higher education

Getting married
According to some reports, the official formalization of marriage matters. Such couples have a significantly lower risk of developing senile dementia compared not only with single, divorced or widowed people but also with those who are together “without a stamp in the passport”.
