MULTIPLE Q&A-
1- Moving more can help you live longer.
Explain: Exercise can help you keep your weight and blood pressure down. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it can even reduce your risk of some cancers.
2-Exercise isn’t just good for the body it can help keep your mind sharp, too.
Explain: Regular exercise has been linked to improved memory and thinking skills — it may even be able to delay the onset of dementia. Plus, it can help you feel less anxious and depressed, says David Marquez, associate professor of kinesiology and nutrition at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
3-Older adults don’t have to exert as much effort as other adults during exercise.
Explain: “We might have to do a little bit more to maintain what we have,
4- Want to live independently for as long as possible? Exercise can help with that.
Explain: “Your physical health, your mental health will be better. And we need all of this to live independently,
5- To start exercising again after some time away, pick your favourite workout routine and see how fit you are compared to where you used to be.
Explain: If you’re too aggressive, you could injure yourself. “The secret is to start from where you are,” says James P. Owen, author of Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50.
6 -Yoga, Pilates, a treadmill, weightlifting — exercise is exercise, so pick your favourite activity and stick with it.-
Explain: You should indeed pick an activity you like — and if it’s that one thing or nothing at all, “we tell [people] to do that one thing,” Marquez says. But varying your workout routine is ideal.
7- If you have arthritis, exercise will only make it worse.
Explain: It may seem counterintuitive, but exercising can actually lessen joint pain, according to the CDC. Just make sure you pick joint-friendly activities like biking and swimming. And be sure to stretch; it's especially important for people with arthritis.
8- People with chronic health issues should avoid exercise.
Explain: Marquez says the risk of something negative happening from exercise “is less than the risk of not doing anything.” Staying active can help improve symptoms of several health conditions, including asthma, diabetes and heart disease, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The Most Important Things You Can Do to Prepare for Healthy Aging;
In addition to general wear and tear, there are physiological changes that will affect how your joints, bones, and tendons function. These changes tend to develop gradually as cell turnover and collagen production begin to slow. As the skin starts to thin, so, too, will the fatty layer cushioning the soles and heels.
What is healthy ageing?
Conclusion;
Complexes like the spine and spine structure need continual care and maintenance. It’s not necessarily bad that the spine gets less attention. Every year, 100 million Americans will have at least one major spine surgery. As you age, the body becomes more vulnerable to injury, especially in the lower spine and hips. Stretching for muscular development is no longer as effective and, in fact, often counterproductive. (It also is a good way to set yourself up for more injury.) Instead, stretching the spine and the hips is a much more valuable way of preserving flexibility. So, if you’ve been enjoying your yoga classes but never noticed that your back has become weaker, stretched, and more vulnerable, it’s time to attend to this area of your practice. It will be worth it.
