I agree with the assertion, pastime activities are a necessity for the older generation as they are for offspring. The subsequent paragraphs highlight grounds on which it can be reinforced.

reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

I think is a positive outcome.

, the ageing process has been known to slow down when an individual laugh and smiles often and
