‘Mindapples’ is an independent UK based organisation dedicated to promoting mentally healthy living for everyone. They want to support everyone to take better care of their minds, by asking everyone to note down the five most popular activities that people do to keep themselves mentally well every day.
The original 5-a-day fruit and vegetable campaign encouraged us to take care of our bodies through simple daily activities, and they want to do the same thing for healthy minds. If you can look after your body by going for a run, or eating an apple, then what’s the equivalent for our minds? Mindapples have created a test for people to fill in and begin to open up a new, positive conversation about how we can take better care of ourselves, simply by asking everybody the question:
“What’s your 5-a-day?”
“How would you rate your mental health? (1 is bad, 5 good)”
