Take Care of Your Mind as Well as Your Body

From my experience, both as a physician and a patient, taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body. It can help us handle stress, stay healthier, and even boost energy.
Take time for self-care to help strengthen your mental well-being:
Practice mindful movements. Exercise like yoga doesn't just boost your mood, it can also improve your memory and help you think more clearly. TIP: Use a chair for more support:

Stay connected. Social bonds are essential for well-being. Reach out to friends or family for emotional support. If you're feeling lonely or isolated, consider volunteering to build connections in your community.
Meditate. Quieting your mind can help you feel calmer and more focused. Find a quiet place, take deep breaths, and check in with different parts of your body.
Remember, Medicare covers mental health services, including depression screenings, therapy, and counseling. Self-care looks different for everyone — every step you take toward better mental health matters.
Stay well,
Dr. Oz
