Reduce Mindless Eating

It’s not rocket science – if your hands are busy knitting, you won’t be able to reach for a bag of chips or a soda. By distracting yourself, you really have to focus on what you’re eating and when. If you struggle with eating in front of the TV, try crocheting instead!

Keep Brain Healthy For Years

You guessed it – with all the math and memory practice, as well as reduced stress and eating, knitters and crocheters have some of the healthiest brains, even in the 70-80-year-old range. SO go ahead and start a new project – your brain depends on it!
