Celebrate with your Parents and Grandparents Today and this Weekend
Keeping the body in movement is an important step to maintaining an independent life. A life where our moods are lifted, bones are stronger, muscle mass is increased and our energy is greater. The saying is true, if you don’t use it, you lose it. Staying or getting active, along with nutrition, will work wonders for your physical and mental health.
Getting up and performing a physical activity for just 30 minutes a day
can change our lives for the better. Walking for a few minutes a day, practicing yoga, gardening and swimming, tai chi and weight training are just a few things that can help the body stay flexible and strong. Improve your balance and avoiding injuries; at the same time, reduce anxiety, help with memory.
If you haven’t been active or have health issues, talk with your medical professional about the best activities for you to start with.
