Visitors of all ages often come to Queens Links during their free time to have some good old fun! Having fun is proven to have positive effects on our hormones and can benefit us both physically and mentally.
Experiencing fun helps to drive down cortisol levels, known as the stress hormone, and increase serotonin, a chemical that helps regulate the likes of sleep, mood and memory.
The benefits of having fun, aside from the obvious, include:
- Reducing stress levels
- Improving your sleep
- Thinking more clearly
- Increasing your energy levels
- Improving your concentration and memory
- Connecting with others in a meaningful way (it will benefit them, too!)
Want in on all of the above? Do something you love and have fun doing it.
