Exercises for older adults\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

At any age, exercise is important part of a healthy life. But it is even more important as adults get older. Even with all of the studies showing that consistent physical activity can help enhance longevity and quality of life, over 85% of adults are either not regularly active or not active at all!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exercises for older adults can help prevent heart disease and osteoporosis, among other diseases. According to research from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, physical activity, including exercise, can slow the changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Adults who exercised 5 times a week did better on cognitive tests and had less age-related changes to the brain that are associated with Alzheimer\u2019s!<\/p>\n

Below are 4 types of exercise for older adults that can help prevent a variety of age-related health issues.*\u00a0<\/h4>\n

\n
1. Cardio<\/strong> \u2013 this includes activities like walking, swimming, biking, or just doing housework. Any activity that increases your heart rate for an extended period of time can improve your heart health and help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism.<\/li>\n
2. Strength<\/strong> \u2013 build muscle and increase your metabolism by lifting light weights.<\/li>\n
3. Balance<\/strong> \u2013 can help prevent falls and other accidents by building leg muscles and making older adults more stable on their feet.
