Cognitive activities: Word puzzles and crossword challenges are good, avoiding too many passive activities like over watching tv. Interactive games on the computer, socialization and interaction and physical activity are equally important. Treat your blood pressure, glucose and lipids as well to avoid complications related to "metabolic syndrome".
