I
found some articles you may find interesting.
Even
fit baby boomers won't escape heart problems By LINDSEY TANNER
The
good news in this article is consistent with research I have found. If you are
fit and making healthy life style changes at 45 you will live 7 years longer
than non-healthy people. The report also says 1 out 3 will have some sort of
problem with heart, stroke, and blood pressure as they age. But you delay
problems by 7 years. The article talked about problems in our 80’s and 90’s. In
our 80’s and 90’s we should expect problems. The reality check for me is we are
mortal. Being healthier our journey is
worth walking.
Tell
me how you really feel about your exercise routine? From
Today I Will, explores the motivation of feeling rather than reasoning
about life style changes. How we feel is stronger than why we make lifestyle
changes. My appeal is both, but I understand the psychology of it.

Use
workouts to unwind By
Arnav Sarkar is right on in addressing exercise as a way to unwind. I have a
couple routines I use to unwind and help me deal with anxiety and stress. Going
to a pub once and awhile she says is OK, but too often it is unhealthy. Her suggestions
on workouts help the mind, body and spirit.
Exercise should be prescribed like
other medicine reports The Chicago Tribune. What do
you think of this one? My mother would have went to another doctor, but the
opinion is right on.
Health
behavior and habits take time but it is nice to be encouraged along the way.
Until
next time - keep walking
From the article about heart disease, "a wake-up call that this disease is very prevalent in the United States and even if you're doing a good job, you're not immune."
ReplyDeleteThe bottom line, there is a time to be born and there is a time to die. You can count on it! A statistical seven years would be nice though...
Funny, I started walking for health but I continue to do it because I like it. The health aspect now is just a real nice by-product.
