Taking mind off of a same language/platform/framework/product you are working on and trying to do something else totally irrespective of what you know. Learn to play music, learn a new language, learn something new out of your area of expertise. This is the biggest exercise for the brain to keep it healthy.

This is different than passive break (vacation/tour of different city). Of course, vacation is also required to make your body healthy.

Fresh air keeps your body healthy. Same way, Fresh idea keeps your mind healthy.

Learning new language/framework/platform will increase your knowledge and sometimes it will also help you appreciate your existing language/framework/platform which makes you feel boring.
