STAY CONNECTED
Maintaining strong social connections with family and
friends adds immensely to one’s overall health and wellbeing – just as much as diet and exercise does. Here are a
few tips for staying socially engaged and leading a happier
and healthier lifestyle.
Organize regular social gatherings at a
favourite restaurant
Nothing connects people more than sitting down together and
catching up over a meal. Pick a place with a relaxed, casual
atmosphere and a wide variety of choice so that everyone
can find something they like. With their delicious buffet
and spacious dining areas, Mandarin is the perfect place for a
social gathering, big or small. Mandarin is also a good choice
because they offer over one hundred options to choose from
on their buffet – from hot entrées and grilled meats, to a
customizable salad bar, sushi bar, and more.

Organize a monthly book club
Reading a book and meeting with friends every month for a
healthy discussion, helps to keep the mind and imagination
active while giving you an opportunity to stay connected with
friends. To make your evening hassle-free, plan ahead and
order-in food from a local restaurant, as this will allow you
to spend more time together. Mandarin has been a favourite
for those hosting gatherings at their homes as they have over
one hundred different dishes on their take-out menu available
for pick-up or delivery. Get creative and order a few dishes
that you have yet to try, in addition to the regular favourites.
Volunteer in your community
Volunteering is a great way to meet new friends, build strong
ties with your community, and provide a powerful sense of
purpose. From volunteering at a hospital, to helping out at
a food bank or soup kitchen, there are a lot of organizations
looking for kind-hearted people to lend a hand. •
