Makes your body age faster.
Independent living depends on being able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them.
To stay independent you need to be able to reach, bend, lift, carry, and move around easily.
Staying physically active will help you to keep moving, and stay strong.
Think about these facts
60% of older adults are inactive.
Sitting or lying for long periods is a serious health risk. (World Health Organization)
Inactivity leads to declines in:
bone strength;
muscle strength;
heart and lung fitness; and flexibility.
Inactivity is as harmful to your health as smoking.
After a year and a half of retirement, the focus on what is important and what is not, is becoming much clearer as time passes by. At this point in time they are, keeping healthy, both in mind and body and being wise in our investments, so we can get a return and hopefully be able a little more comfortable in our later life.
