Consistent Physical Activity = Healthy Living
A consistently active lifestyle helps us maintain our health as we age, positively impacting strength, flexibility, stability, and mental wellbeing.
The key is consistency. Activities like daily walks or other cardio-active exercise. Strength and flexibility exercises daily or on a scheduled basis throughout the week. Balance exercises periodically throughout the day.
Creating a routine that commits time to daily physical activity builds resilience as we age and reduces the risks associated with the loss of strength, flexibility, and balance.
In an article on Successful Aging, Dr. Ami Hall, a geriatric specialist with the Cleveland Clinic states, “One of the greatest challenges facing older adults is preventing physical disability and extending what we call ‘active life expectancy.’ The longer you can keep your body healthy and strong, the longer you can expect to live life on your own terms.”
The article referenced above, Successful Aging: Tips for Keeping Your Body and Mind Sharp, includes additional information and tips on the subject. It is followed by links to helpful related articles.
As you consider your 2025 goals, add one that helps you remain physically active daily to support the ability to do those things in life most important to you and your family.
Here’s to a healthy and active 2025. Cheers from the llinea Monk Fruit team.
