Your favourite activities may benefit your health in addition to being enjoyable. According to research, those who engage in hobbies, social activities, and other leisure-time pursuits may have a lower risk of developing certain health issues. A community choir programme for older individuals, for instance, was proven to minimise loneliness and boost interest in life, according to one study. Another study found that older persons who read for at least an hour or took part in other activities had a lower risk of dementia than those who did so for no more than 30 minutes each day.
