					<description><![CDATA[You may be beginning to think about retirement or already retired and looking forward to having more time on your hands to enjoy the fruits of your labor—whether that&#8217;s taking up a new hobby or getting back into your favorite sport. However, it&#8217;s essential to pay attention to how much exercise you&#8217;re getting during this stage of your life because it may impact how fit and healthy you are as you age. There are many reasons why people age fifty and over age 50 should be physically active. Still, the single most important reason might be to help prevent age-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Exercise has also been revealed to ease stress, decrease blood pressure, improve blood sugar control, and boost older adults&#8217; brain function, mood, and energy levels. Here are some of the main benefits of exercise for people age fifty and over. Improve Circulation You&#8217;ve heard that high blood pressure increases with age, but did you know your heart is not immune to its effects? Your heart relies on a stable supply of oxygenated blood from your lungs. As we get older, our veins and arteries tend to become less flexible and elastic, slowing down circulation and reducing overall muscle tone. Regular exercise can help pump blood around your body and circulation by increasing flexibility and reducing stress. Build Bone Density A key factor to maintaining a healthy lifestyle for people over age 50 is keeping your bones strong. Resistance training—mainly using your body weight—can help increase bone density and improve muscle strength. You can build resistance with exercises like pull-ups, push-ups, or crunches; be sure to take a break if you feel any pain. Walking is an effective way to build up bone density and muscles in your lower body for those who want to get extra active on their feet. Improve Memory &#38; Cognition Studies have shown that working out can help improve memory and cognition among older adults. In a Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences survey, men aged 55-77 performed high-intensity workouts twice a week for three months. After each exercise, their performance on verbal memory tests improved significantly. There&#8217;s also a recommendation suggesting that aerobic exercise might be particularly beneficial to those with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Improves Self-Esteem Regular exercise helps you gain confidence and increases your sense of self-worth. The more you work out, the more fit and attractive you feel, especially if you see visible results right away. A greater understanding of self-confidence might boost your social life. Exercise can also give you a greater sense of accomplishment in general, which is vital for staying motivated as time goes on. Reduce Pain &#38; Lower Risk of Injury As we age, our joints and connective tissues begin to lose elasticity, which increases our risk of injury. Increasing muscle strength and flexibility through strength training and yoga can improve balance and coordination, helping to lessen your risk of falling or injuring yourself. By regularly raising your heart rate with physical activity—20 minutes at least three times a week—you&#8217;ll keep your blood pumping effectively. Stress Reduction It&#8217;s no secret that regular exercise is a great way to deal with stress. When we work out, our bodies produce endorphins, which can increase happiness and reduce stress levels. Exercise is also a unique way to stay active as we get older. It helps us stay mentally alert and even improve memory or concentration issues. Cardiovascular Health Regular exercise improves blood pressure, reduces triglycerides, increases HDL (good) cholesterol, decreases LDL (bad) cholesterol, and lowers blood sugar levels—all good news for your heart. It also boosts lung capacity, which can help reduce both asthma symptoms and the risk of lung disease. As you get older, your immune system ordinarily slows down, but regular exercise boosts it by strengthening your muscles and improving blood flow to your vital organs. Weight Management As we get older, it becomes more and more challenging to manage our weight; according to a report from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), More than 70% of adults over the age of 50 are overweight. Among those seniors who are at a healthy weight, 25% say they don&#8217;t exercise or perform physical activity. Getting regular physical activity is one of several essential factors that can make losing weight easier as you get older. Exercise can also increase your overall quality of life by promoting muscle strength and helping you maintain an active lifestyle. Social Benefits In addition to improving physical health, steady exercise can also improve your quality of life, giving you more energy and more time to spend with loved ones. Exercising regularly can help you connect with family and friends because everyone is likely to be on a similar schedule. And improved communication skills mean that relationships aren&#8217;t harmed by short conversations when you&#8217;re pressed for time. Studies have shown that married couples who regularly exercise together have better sex lives than couples who don&#8217;t. Brain Health At age 50, your body will slow down and lose muscle mass. Regular physical activity can help counteract these changes by keeping you mentally sharp and bolstering blood flow to your brain. Physical activity can also improve flexibility, balance, bone density, strength, and coordination. It&#8217;s essential to choose a physical activity that you enjoy so that it doesn&#8217;t feel like work—otherwise, you&#8217;ll never stick with it. Some ideas include swimming, cycling, dancing, or going on daily walks around your neighborhood. While physical activity is generally a good thing and is recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle, there&#8217;s no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. What works for someone else might not work for you; what worked last year might not work today. The key is to create a routine that works with your body and supports your health and fitness goals which can be different things. Be sure to consult your doctor before beginning any new workout plan—but overall, working out as you get older should be something to look forward to. Bone Health and Prevention The effects of inactivity and aging on bones are dramatic. As we get older, our muscles weaken, and our bones become more fragile, increasing our risk for fractures. One out of three women over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis (age-related reduction in bone mass). The good news is that research has revealed that regular weight-bearing activity slows down bone loss and can also increase bone mass and strength. This is because when you lift weights, your body releases a protein called osteocalcin that stimulates the formation of new bone cells. As we continue to age it is important to include some form of exercise as part of our daily lives in order to assist in improving our health.  You may want to consider before starting an exercise program to discuss this with your health care provider.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Growing older is no walk in the park, not only do we find ourselves dealing with more and more aches, pains, grey hairs, and everyday ailments, but we also find ourselves more at risk for a wide range of more serious health issues. When we’re in our twenties, and even our thirties for that matter, we may feel as if we’re invincible. We tend to eat what we like, drink way too much alcohol, not get enough exercise, not get enough sleep, and still wake up the next day feeling fine and fresh. Once we hit age forty however, we begin to receive warnings from our bodies. When we hit age fifty, that’s when we really need to be careful and be more aware of our health and wellbeing. Once we reach 50, we’re more likely to suffer from various ailments, which is why it’s so important to be aware of them beforehand. To help ensure you’re as fit and healthy as can be, no matter your age, here are several health problems more likely to affect people age 50 and over. Heart attacks This is one of the most serious health issues affecting people age 50 or above, and it could potentially be fatal. Your heart is one of the most important organs in your body, and looking after it is essential. Considering more people die from heart disease every year than any other disease, this shows you just how important heart health really is. A person age 50 and over has a possibility of developing heart disease in the near future, this may result in a heart attack that may be fatal. Some of the most common symptoms to watch out for include the following:  shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, pain in the back, neck, or shoulders, going pale, sweating, or feeling nauseous. Heart disease, though somewhat genetic, is largely brought on by unhealthy lifestyle choices. Those who eat junk food, are overweight, don’t eat vegetables, who smoke, binge alcohol drinking, use drugs, and suffer from stress are much more likely to experience heart problems. Try to exercise more, eat more healthy foods, drink more water, avoid stress, don’t smoke or use drugs, drink in moderation, and lose excess body fat if you are looking for ways to look after your heart.   Hypertension Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is another health condition commonly affecting people age 50 and over that may be fatal.  Hypertension is a primary risk factor for strokes and heart attacks, and it is very difficult to diagnose, which is why it is called the silent killer. High blood pressure is more likely to affect people age 50 or above because the vascular system alters as people grow older. As arteries lose elasticity, pressure inside them builds up, plus some people suffer from partially blocked arteries which increases blood pressure further. High blood pressure is also caused by weight and stress, and as people age fifty and over find it harder to lose weight, and are likely to suffer from stress, it’s easy to see why hypertension is such an issue.  The good news is that, like with your heart, you can manage your blood pressure and reduce it naturally through a healthy diet and lifestyle, though sometimes medication is needed. Arthritis Arthritis affects people as they grow older, and it is people aged 50 or above who are especially likely to suffer the ill-effects of the condition.   Arthritis sets in when joint cartilage located between the bones and the joints begins to deteriorate and wear down. This causes the joints to rub and grind against each other and can be extremely painful. People with arthritis tend to be very stiff and suffer from a lack of mobility, as well as joint pain. It can be managed with pain relief, weight loss, and a healthy diet, though there is no cure for it. Broken bones While we can break our bones at any age, those age 50 and over are more likely to suffer with broken bones due to their bones becoming more brittle, or even through osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is where we lose bone mass and the bones become weaker and brittle, meaning they’re more susceptible to breakage. People in their twenties or thirties may fall over and catch themselves with their wrists to break their fall and feel fine. A person suffering with osteoporosis however, would likely snap their wrist because their bones were so weak.  Osteoporosis and broken bones are more common in people age 50 and over although we can strengthen the bones with resistance training, calcium, vitamin D, and omega 3s. So just in keep in mind when you are age 50 and over it is important to work on keeping yourself healthy and follow-up with your doctor on any concerns you may have about your health.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For men in their 20s, 30s, and even 40s, as far as exercise goes you can get away with ramping up the intensity and training a little recklessly. As the years tick by however, Father Time catches up with us and we’re forced to dial things back. Once we hit 50, we begin to notice aches and pains we never really noticed before. Our joints become stiff, it takes longer to recover, and we need to accept the fact that we can’t do what we used to do decades before. Despite things needing to change from 50 or over, exercise is still as important as ever, if not more so. Exercise is essential for weight loss and management, it promotes general health and wellness, and it’s great for boosting your mood too. To help you get more from your workouts as you grow older, here’s a look at the 3 best exercises for men over 50. Push ups To help ensure that muscle hypertrophy is not an issue as you age, resistance training is important. Rather than free weights which can be bad for the joints, plyometric body weight exercises are recommended instead. Push ups are the ultimate body weight exercise for targeting the chest muscles. They’re a compound exercise that hits multiple muscles at once. That means that as well as your pecs, you can work your triceps, deltoids, and even your core. To perform a push up, place both palms flat on the floor, extend both legs behind you with your toes planted firmly on the floor, lift your body up by extending your arms. Now, slowly lower your chest down to the ground by bending your elbows, holding for a second at the bottom until you can feel a deep stretch in your chest. Lock out your arms once more and repeat for as many reps as necessary. Walking lunges Walking lunges are fantastic for men looking to work the legs and improve their mobility. Unilateral leg work such as walking lunges are great as they work just one leg at a time and help take some pressure and strain off the joints. They also hit your postural muscles on your back, and help work your hip flexors. To perform walking lunges, take a set of dumbbells, grab one in each hand and then hold them straight down with arms by your sides. Keeping your head up and your chest out, step forwards with your front leg, bending your front knee until your rear knee touches the floor. Now, stand up straight, switch legs, and repeat. Alternate between legs for as many reps as needed. Farmers carries Farmers carries are great for improving your grip strength, strengthening the core, and working your triceps and traps in the process. they’re also great for cardiovascular conditioning. To perform farmers carries, take a heavy dumbbell in each hand, brace your core, stand up straight, extend both arms down at your sides, and then stride forwards as far as you can go. Next, lower the weights, turn around, pick up the dumbbells again, and repeat again in the opposite direction. So, you may want to consider doing some or all of these exercises to assist you with staying  healthy and fit over age 50.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Activities could be in form of physical, social, leisure and productive engagements. Engaging in various types of these activities not only improve the physical strength but put the entire body system in a perfect condition. Older adults will be doing themselves good when they engage in activities that in turn keep their body and soul in perfect form. Study reveals that older Americans mostly make use of their time engaging in social activities, pursuing different hobbies, exercising and engaging in various community development programs by volunteering. It is evident that engaging in any social, physical, leisure or productive activity improves one&#8217;s physical and mental strength. However, engaging in many of these activities attracts a better physical and mental health even when aging. These four activities help in promoting healthy aging among older adults because of their mental and physical benefits. The functional capacity of older people is mostly important in relation to the way in which they can carry out and support the activities of daily living, which in turn affects their quality of life. The assessment of functional capacity includes an assessment of a person&#8217;s ability to perform various activities of daily living. Performing these functions is an integral part of measuring functional health, and it is impaired when fatigue appears. Any form of physical activity is appropriate for anyone at any age, as long as it is not excessive in terms of general or local stress. Age does not in itself constitute an obstacle to physical exercise. The most important issue to be addressed is how physical activity can be incorporated into the lifestyle of older people. The greater quality of life and sense of purpose is achieved among older adults who engage in fun, leisure and productive activities. All these activities are there to improve better physical and mental well-being of every older adult. Since the brain needs social stimulation on a daily basis, social activities stimulate the brain as we joyfully interact with people. As we age, it is important to interact with new people, build new relationships and enjoy the healthy benefits of wide range social network. Social activities help to retain integrity, increase motivation, improve health and well-being, help to stay connected with the world, and so many other social benefits. Productive activities are engagement strategy that reduce stress, support mental and emotional functions. Study says Older adults have a positive perceived health-related quality of life by consistently or increasingly engaging in productive activity especially when encountering a life event. If access to activity options are difficult, it may hinder any older adult from taking active part in different types of activities. New activities must however be developed to promote widespread healthy aging.  ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Have you ever heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day? You know it really is especially as you continue to age.  If you normally don’t eat breakfast you may want to consider changing your mind about this and start making it your first daily meal of the day after you rise in the morning from sleeping.  Breakfast has been known to help with your metabolism and assist with refueling our bodies when we eat breakfast shortly after we get up in the morning.  So, consider eating breakfast to help you stay healthy over 50.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What is Diabetes? Diabetes is a disease in which the body’s ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood. It occurs when the body is unable to regulate the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas, it is responsible for conveying glucose from food into cells to be used for energy generation. The inability of a human body to generate enough Insulin will cause excess glucose in the blood stream.  Types of Diabetes There are two types of diabetes. Namely; Type 1 Diabetes, where the individual does not produce enough Insulin Type 2 Diabetes, where the individuals body produces Insulin, but uses it in the wrong way.  Symptoms of Diabetes The general symptoms of Diabetes include, tiredness, hunger and thirst. Some particular symptoms include loss of weight without, often urinating, blurred vision, slow healing from bruises and cuts, and skin infections. How to prevent Diabetes Track your glucose levels. Make healthy food choices. Exercise Daily exercise will help improve glucose levels especially in older people.  Diabetes in the Older Generation Diabetes in most adults is usually found in the type 2. An ADA article wrote; “More than 25% of the U.S. population aged ≥65 years has diabetes, and the aging of the overall population is a significant driver of the diabetes epidemic. Although the burden of diabetes is often described in terms of its impact on working-age adults, diabetes in older adults is linked to higher mortality, reduced functional status, and increased risk of institutionalization. Older adults with diabetes are at substantial risk for both acute and chronic microvascular and cardiovascular complications of the disease.” What people over age 50 can do to protect themselves from diabetes complications as they age? Monitor your average blood glucose level. It is most important for an adult over 50 to know his or her blood sugar level and continuously monitor it, so as to know the right measure to take at higher levels. At least twice a year, an adult should take the A1C blood test. This test result would show your average blood sugar level over a three-month period. Monitor your blood pressure. The presence of excess glucose levels in the blood also leads to high blood pressure, monitoring this will also keep the doctor informed on your diabetes status and will overall protect you from cardio attacks or failures. Monitor your Cholesterol Levels High levels of cholesterol may lead to heart attack. As a diabetic, it is important to keep watch over this, as it would inform you on how to adjust your diet. Do Kidney Checks Diabetes can lead to kidney damage. High blood sugar (Glucose) passing through blood vessels in your kidney can cause damage of those vessels. This is rampant in diabetes, so maintaining a good living even with diabetes should involve regular kidney checks. Stop Smoking and Stop Drinking. Both actions can cause a worsening of a diabetic condition and cause damage to body organs. It has been found that, tobacco use can increase blood sugar levels and lead to insulin resistance. The more you smoke, the greater your risk of diabetes. People who smoke heavily (more than 20 cigarettes a day) have almost double the risk of developing diabetes as opposed to people who don&#8217;t smoke. Make Healthy Food Choices Read a little on different foods and how they affect glucose levels. Form your little research, make good inferences on what suits your glucose level. The continuous consumption of junk food or high carbohydrate diets will increase blood sugar level, but the consumption of most natural vegetables decreases blood sugar level. Protect Your Skin It is important to protect your skin from cuts and bruises as it may lead to serious injuries, due to slow healing. Always ensure that your skin is moisturized. Use Your Medicine Always use your medicine, even when you feel good. &#160; &#160;    ]]></description>
