Each Wednesday, Soap Hub chats with a daytime star to get insights into their thoughts on health and wellness, topics that are of great concern in today’s world. This week, Brandon Barash, who plays Jake DiMera on Days of our Lives shared his thoughts on a happy and healthy mind.

Soap Hub: What is your go-to activity for health and wellness?
Brandon Barash: There isn’t just one for me, or probably for anyone really. Anything at the gym — swimming, yoga, running, [or] weights. It’s all about balance for me. If I had to pick a favorite, it’d be yoga, because it implements elements of physical and mental well-being.
Healthy Body, Healthy Mind
Soap Hub: Why is wellness important to you?
Brandon Barash: Without a healthy body and mind, we have nothing — we’re physically and mentally broke.

Soap Hub: How do you keep a healthy mind?
Brandon Barash: Meditation. For me, getting through the day/life without meditation is akin to attempting to run a marathon without training or stretching. Not gonna happen.
