[Excerpt] 1. Art is good for your mind and body.

According to a report by the World Health Organization, creative activity can help prevent and treat mental and physical illnesses, including dementia, schizophrenia, depression, and even cancer. Making art can also reduce stress, improve self-esteem, and fill your days with a greater sense of purpose. Instead of dreading the blank spaces in your retirement calendar, you might look forward to an extra hour where you can paint, throw clay on your pottery wheel, or design custom shelving for your living room. Art can also open up quiet spaces where you can reflect, express your feelings, and connect with the ideas and values that are most important to you.

One art form that can have immediate benefits to your wellbeing every day is cooking. Plan out meals in advance, shop for healthy ingredients, and practice new skills with help from cookbooks or online videos.
