I checked out an article on Web MD to see the most common health challenges that emerge with age.
Sharon Brangman, MD, AGSF, spokeswoman for the American Geriatrics Society, tells WebMD, “The more you do in middle age to prepare yourself for successful aging, the better.”
Here are the top 8:
One of the primary solutions that came up again and again as a huge combatant to these issues was EXERCISE!
Most sicknesses and diseases are age related. Everything from de-conditioned, stiff inflamed joints disguised as arthritis to high blood pressure can be improved by making simple changes. What do you need to do to minimize the rate you age? How should you eat, drink, sleep, stretch AND move?
With aging, connective tissue, which is made up primarily of collagen fibers, forms cross-links in areas that have restricted motion. Age is often associated with a sedentary lifestyle. The older and less active an individual is, the more rapidly muscles and joints tighten up. If the joints are not extended through various ranges, collagen cross-links are laid down in the tissues, restricting movement potential and making the body feel stiff and less flexible. Range of motion is also affected by core temperature; when the body is warm it is easier and safer to stretch because the tissues are more extensible (Wirth,Van Luten,Mistry, Saliba, & McCue, 1998).
