That's a great list.

I am the kind of person who doesn't care much for "exercise" per se. I get bored with it. The thing that gets me up to see the sun and get some exercise is my dog. Having a dog has many research-proven mental and physical health benefits. For myself, I can say that I benefit so much from having a dog that I just don't see myself ever not having one.

Of course, not everybody can have a dog, so this is not really general advice. But, if it even sounds like it might be a good idea to someone, I'd encourage that person to look into getting a furry friend. :)
