52. Play is Essential for Adults Too

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang

Playing is not a waste of time. It is often interpreted as frivolous but it is actually an important source of both relaxation and stimulation for adults and children alike.

Today we talk with special guest Dr. Brooke Buckley, CMO of Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, about the importance of play at all ages.

Playing is a stress reliever and it brings joy. It offers oodles of health benefits, is a productivity tool, and stimulates creativity and learning.

Play also helps us solve difficult problems.

“We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.”
