Dr. E. Christine Moll of Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y. has released a study that proves it is “extremely” important to have fun! Baby boomers are known for leading an “all-work and no-play” life style, and Dr. Moll says that has to stop. She says fun and leisure is just as important to one’s well-being as keeping proper cholesterol levels and getting exercise. She asks the question, “Why was the last time you did something just for fun or just for the health of it?” Dr. Moll states that her definition of leisure as anything that brings you personal joy. She says “For our physical, mental, spiritual and cognitive health, leisure is a necessity, not a luxury. It airs out your brain and renews your spirit”. Having fun can be anything from reading a book, going for a walk or enjoying a meal with your family. So, go ahead and have fun, you will be healthier for it. Having fun because it is extremely important . . . it’s a good thing!
