The Benefits of Recreational Activities

   Recreation is in a way a rejuvenating experience involving therapeutic treatment of the body and mind whereas leisure is more of  an entertainment activity. Like any other thing, too much recreation time can be harmful and can divert our attention from necessary work and we become lethargic in yet another way. But research has shown that recreational activities contribute to the satisfaction of life, health and also improve the quality of the life we lead. Recreation enhances longevity and counteracts stress. Recreation can be both indoor and outdoor. Some people like video games, playing cards or playing table tennis while some others may which to sweat it out in the sun. Wherever you play it is sure to pep you up and provide you ample relaxation. For people with no passion for sports, they could go on a travel expedition. Hiking, biking, snorkelling, surfing, sailing, kayaking are all recreational activities. Anything that gives you peace of mind and happiness is deemed recreation.
