Weight, Fitness, & Your Senior Years
Only a handful of years ago, the health industry was supporting the importance of being lean and trim. That trend has slowly changed and in today’s world being fit has a higher level of importance than weight when it comes to senior health issues…
The older we become, it seems the harder it is to get in all the activity our bodies require. We become busier, focusing on the activities in life that we cherish most – our children, grandchildren, hobbies, and entertaining friends and family.
But just because we grow older doesn’t mean we should move out the exercise bike for a wooden rocker!
Research shows that even a small amount of medium-level activity a day can prolong life. In a recent study that compared active seniors to sedate seniors, the group that remained active was healthier, stronger, got sick less often and lived longer.
Some things you can do: - Try to take a 10-20 minute walk at least 3 times per week. If there is a mall in your area, make use of it! They are safe and your walking field is a level terrain. - Take an interest in an active hobby such as bowling, golfing or gardening. - Remain sexually active. - Eat healthy and take vitamin supplements. It’s much easier to get moving when one feels good. - Then there is the standard – park a bit further from the main door of the store, but with all the crazy drivers these days, it is a ‘do it at your own risk’ scenario. - Stairs over escalators is also a very good standby. Once you get moving, you’ll find that you have a new level of energy. You won’t tire as quickly, either which means you’ll be able to enjoy the things you like to do. And isn’t that what’s life is all about?
