OWATONNA, Minn. — Many people spend too much time staring at a screen. While screens are a part of today's culture, reducing screen time can have health benefits, including improved physical health, decreased obesity and higher quality sleep.
This summer, Mayo Clinic Health System encourages people to make the most of life by living life fully — present and in the moment. They can join Mayo Clinic Health System for a free virtual challenge to reduce their screen time so they can play, explore and connect more.
Participants will complete 30 or more activities from a list of over 100 ideas. They can complete them when it works best for their schedule. Then they check off completed activities from the provided checklist for a fun way to track their progress.
People can learn more and register on Mayo Clinic Health System's website. They can participate in the challenge with their family or friends or whomever they choose.
