Senior Fitness

A critical component of any wellness program and a major factor to healthy aging is regular activity. Regular exercise will help protect you from chronic disease, improve your mood and lower your chances of injury.

The older you are, the more you have to gain from exercise. All it takes is 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

 You can grow older AND get healthier too!

     Supplement a good die with multi
    
      Sensible
supplements make a difference
      Strong immune system
can help stop colds & flu 
      Protect heart health and lower cholesterol

 Growing older can be fun when you feel good! Yes, turning 50 + can bring on new physical, mental and emotional challenges, but can also be a time of great enjoyment, fulfillment and a whole lot of new horizons.  A time to enjoy life with one's spouse, children and grandchildren, but also a time for new adventures, more frequent travel, a new hobby or a new "retirement" home business with flexible hours.
Looking for Seniors with a zest for life!

 You can make a huge difference! To a child, a family, the environment, a community - the world! Pick a passionate purpose! Think of the wisdom and life experience you have to offer and the time you have available in which to share it with others. Did you once have a dream? It's never too late to pursue a lifelong dream. Maybe now the timing is perfect! 

Health Tips for 50 +
    

 Healthy Habits: Take a close look at your lifestyle and identify habits that are helpful and harmful to your health as you age.  Eliminating the harmful habits will make the aging process more enjoyable!  Stop smoking  - it increases the risk of heart disease and cancer. Alcohol can be fine in moderation, but it can also contribute to sleep problems and suppress appetite. Use discretion and moderation. Take a natural daily vitamin strip for seniors. For even greater coverage, choose a proven system - a guaranteed daily vitamin strip plus protein shake plus Immune Booster. An extra oomph of nutrition for total wellness.

 Exercise:  As your body ages and you feel physically challenged,  you might be tempted to skip exercise. This is the wrong thing to do! Regular exercise is critical! No need to be strenuous - just consistent. Regular physical activity helps your body function more effectively in so many ways:
 
     Helps with weight loss and maintenance
     Combats anxiety and depression
     Keeps bones muscles and joints working properly
     Relieves symptoms of arthritis
     Reduces risk of heart disease, high blood pressure

Anything that gets you moving is a start in the right direction. Walking, housework and gardening can count toward exercise, but finding a way to regularly engage in a daily routine of physical activity is optimal. 

 Attitude: Think positive! The aging process doesn't have to be a downer! Taking care of your body, mind and spirit can help you feel more comfortable about greeting the changes that come with getting older. Getting appropriate rest and relaxation and making sure you stay mentally active too, will greatly increase your enjoyment of your golden years.

 Stay involved and socially active: Family get-to-gethers, outings with friends and a church community or a job can help fill your life with love, companionship and meaning. This is MOST important! Protecting and nurturing your emotional well-being is as important, if not MORE important than taking care of your physical body. It can combat lonliness and depression, while feeding yor spirit and giving meaning in your life.

 Community Involvement: Being involved with a cause that's important to you is a great reminder that you have much to offer. Sharing your interests and passions with others not only is mentally stimulating and challenging as well as rewarding, but exposes you to new people and helps you focus on a cause that puts the focus on others. Being a contributor to the community keeps you engaged and active and those who are, usually feel better and live longer.

 Sleep: Over 50% of men and women over age 65 years complain of at least one chronic sleep problem. People 50 to 85 years of age typically get about 6 hours of sleep per night. A good quality sleep at night is essential for physical health and emotional well-being. If you are having chronic sleep problems this article is an excellent help guide -
Getting the Sleep You need.

 Mental Activity: Trying to keep active mentally can improve your memory significantly AND combat boredom. Simple inexpensive things like games and puzzles, reading or taking a different route for your walk or drive, can keep you fully engaged and mentally tuned up! Bottom line?  Exercise your mind.  Play Sudoku.


Getting older doesn't mean you have to sit on the sidelines. Get involved and stay involved. Keep on kicking! Don't be a spectator - play in the game.
