Many of us may have heard the phrase "healthy mind healthy body" so we must be attentive to the thoughts that are brought to mind as they also affect physical health. Among the recommendations to stay healthy is to keep a positive mind despite adversities, learn to manage emotions, stress, anxiety, anxiety, relationships with other people, and know how to act in the face of various circumstances in life.
It is necessary to maintain physical activity and good eating habits to enjoy health, but to maintain mental health is sometimes not so easy for everyone and we must pay attention to it at all stages of life from youth, adulthood and old age.

And it is in mental health and old age where I want to focus, because many times it is not given due importance, and it is here at this stage where many people suffer from neglect, neglect, abuse and where they are not taken into account and set aside.
There are many habits that can help maintain the mental health of older adults, one of the strategies that I found very interesting and wanted to share is the use of drawing and painting as it is an activity that is generally related to children and who love to paint everywhere and at all times and that with the passage of time is forgotten or is not dedicated enough time or is not given the importance it has.

Studies have shown the benefits of drawing and coloring in adults as it mainly allows to maintain concentration on what is being done, keeping the person away from problems, negative thoughts or forget about some ailments for a moment, improves mood and motivation to make every day better their drawings and paintings, they feel valuable which in turn improves their physical health.
When drawing and painting, both hemispheres of the brain are stimulated, the logical and rational side and the emotional side, the imagination is developed so that the brain is constantly working, which avoids suffering from some diseases.

On the other hand, adults can share this activity with their relatives, with their grandchildren, they have fun and entertain themselves, or belong to certain groups which motivates them and also allows them to relate with other people, learn new techniques every day, share new experiences and express themselves through painting.
As we see drawing and painting is a good option and brings many benefits in adulthood, it is never too late to learn something new and especially when it keeps us healthy.
Well friends, for the moment I say goodbye, thanks for reading!
One needs to cultivate good habits to help them stay healthy even at old age. These include good eating habits, just like you mentioned, exercise, practicing mindfulness, etc.

Dear @yusvelasquez
Another solid piece :) Title definetly attracted my attention, since I'm slowly learning to think of myself as "upcoming old man".
Learning to manage stress and anxiety doesn't seem to be easy. It's like never ending process. I've learned that implementing wim-hof breathing technique to my daily schedull is helping me greatly to achieve ... being calmer.
Enjoy your weekend,
Piotr
