Stay happy and well

There’s no doubt that active people who focus on a healthy, fun-loving lifestyle live out fulfilling lives – and perhaps on average longer lives.

You probably more or less know the basics on how to live a healthy lifestyle. Some obvious first steps include eating more greens and superfoods and cutting back on sugars and alcohol. Sleeping, meditating, exercising and keeping stress levels low are other key ingredients in the recipe of wellness. But while it’s easy to write all these things down, and even keep them in the back of your mind as you continue with your day-to-day, how many of us can say that we’re practising these things on a regular basis?

As a member of a U3A you have access to a range of healthy, fun-loving activities that exercise the body and the mind – and there’s opportunities to continue learning something that interests you and without the pressure of exams.
