Make time for fun

Whether it’s playing ball in the pool, cricket on the beach or Frisbee in the park, holidays are about having fun with family and friends. Psychologists discovered that having a supportive extended network can boost a person’s health more than exercise, losing weight or quitting smoking and alcohol. So arrange a sporty get-together with your loved ones and get outside while the weather is still warm to recreate that summer feeling.
